Sheffield Brewery Co. - Crucible Best 3.8%


Taste: I don't know what to say about this. A slight fizz if you concentrate hard. There might be some coffee beans lurking in there somewhere, but only deep deep down.

Appearance: The foam makes great monsters. Actually, they're sea creatures... There's a shrimp, and some sort of cephalopod.

Would you buy 2? I think I might actually, it has definitely improved as the cheese board has worn off. And the thrill of revealing the next sea creature keeps you engaged.

Would you buy 4? It's a bit like cloud spotting - it gets a bite tiresome after a while.

Rating (out of 7): 3*** It could have got four... It improves as you drink it, but you have to work too hard to find any flavour.

Location: Chapel-en-le-Frith, Derbyshire

Sounds intriguing. The photo looks like a stormy ocean.
