Andwell Brewing Company - King John 4.6%


Taste: A malt-tease scent. Hmmm there's a lot of a metallic bottle top taste. I'm sure that's not meant to be there. Apart from the copper taste, it's a pretty smooth and tasty ale.

Appearance: The beer looks great. So clear!

Would you buy 2? Unlikely. But I'd accept two as a gift.

Would you buy 4? Don't think so. But I'd like to try it on keg.

Rating (out of 7): 4****

Saltaire Brewery - Cascade Pale Ale 4.8%


Taste: Phew. That's pretty nice. Cascade to the rescue. Like a stroll through the pine forests at the foothills of the Brecon Beacons. It's damp and historical. But it's easy to get lost and be shot by a big eared grouse hunter.

Appearance: Amber Teddy eyes.

Would you buy 2? I'd be able to sink two.

Would you buy 4? Again. I'd take them on I'd they we're purchased for me.

Rating (out of 7): 4**** it's nice.

Sambrook's Brewery - Pale Ale 4.2%


Taste: That's nice. Along the lines of their 'Wandle' beer, but has a different hop flavour. Four different varieties apparently. Delicious! I appreciate your efforts. The citrus blast will accompany my bean chilli perfectly.


Appearance: Really transparent. It almost isn't there. Although, it is.

Would you buy 2? Yes. Keep them flowing.

Would you buy 4? Yes please! I can never seem to find this one in the pubs though. They are all like "no mate, we've only got Wandle or junction on." and i'm all, like "Wandle please."

Rating (out of 7): 5***** you'd not be unhappy if you tried this.

Moor Brewing Company - Nor'Hop 4.3%


Taste: Lucky me. Another one from Moor! Hops from Norway? (I assume) Sounds good. Mmm kind of sweet. Honey on toast. With a side of melon balls doused with Lemon juice. I think I should have started with this one. Isn't it a rule that you must NEVER drink a liquor lighter in colour than the preceding drink?!

Appearance: Giant bottle is once again, very welcome. Beer is pale in colour and slippery to the touch.

Would you buy 2? Yes. If I could afford it. Maybe it doesn't cost £6 in every shop?

Would you buy 4? It's a possibility.

Rating (out of 7): 5***** lovely

Brew Dog - Dead Pony Club 3.8%


Taste: Surprising! It's tasty. Delicious hops, loads of flavour. Perhaps a little over carbonated. Fizzy tongue. Great for a 3.8%er.

Appearance: Orange Organics. I was ready to hate this because of the Ridiculous marketing spiel on the bottle though.

Would you buy 2? I think so.

Would you buy 4? for a summer BBQ, maybe.

Rating (out of 7): 5***** Don't judge an ale before you've drunk it.

Thwaites - Thouroughbred Gold 3.7%


Taste: Biscuit wonderland. Stable boys and Straw. Less hoof more fetlocks. This is not a thoroughbred. Should be training pony.

Appearance: Looks a little uninspiring. Why have they hidden the brewer?! Deciept! Ashamed of your own brewery.

Would you buy 2? We did.

Would you buy 4? "ergh, you stink of horse!"

Rating (out of 7): 3*** okay. I see what you've done here.
