Wychwood Brewery - Snake's Bite 4.2%

Taste: Wooah, what's going on? This tastes of apples... sooo sweet. Like cider disguised as ale. Or ale disguised as appletiser. There may be other tastes but I'm distracted by the overpowering sugary appletiser taste. I probably should hate this...

Appearance: Strongbow

Would you buy 2? I won't be rushing back to the shop

Would you buy 4? Too novelty for 4.

Rating (out of 7): 2 * * At first I thought it could be a guilty pleasure, but now I feel a bit cheated.

Wychwood Brewery - King Goblin 6.6%

Taste: I approached this ale fearing the average. I'm happy to be proven wrong! Harsh biscuits, cherries and alcohol burn. Smokey wet pencils on the aftertaste. Not super delicious, but not tasteless.

Appearance: A comfortable ale brown. Pleasing to the eye. I'm not over keen on goblins - too sneaky to be ale brewers surely?

Would you buy 2? Depends on the competition really... Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

Would you buy 4? It wouldn't be much of an adventure.

Rating (out of 7): * * * * a good 4 starrer.

Wychwood Brewery - Bountiful 4.0%

Taste: a malty bitter pleasure gulp. It's all good.

Appearance: rude/sexy/sleazy label. Mahogany brown.

Would you buy 2? I would, usually.

Would you buy 4? I could see it happening.

Rating (out of 7): 5***** sexy!
