Marston's - Single Hop Sovereign 4%


Taste: worrying first smell, but that turns to petals and Turkish delight once it's in your mouth. It's a fruity curtain to a not undelicious ale.

Appearance: lager top. Prince bottle.

Would you buy 2? Yes!

Would you buy 4? Hmmm I might!

Rating (out of 7): 4**** quite delicious for Marston's

Brasserie d'Achouffe - Mc Chouffe 8%


Taste: Total Belgium. I'm out of my depth here. I've enjoyed Le Chouffe before. In Belgium when I misunderstood what 'Chouffe' meant. I then performed a little skit as the Chouffe of my mind.... Anyway. It's strong. Wheaty. Biscuity. Really strong. Tastes like madness.

Appearance: Gnomey. Dark beer. Why is it Mc?!

Would you buy 2? Eventually.

Would you buy 4? In one go? You'd be doing Chouffe impressions for your new Belgium friends.

Rating (out of 7): 4**** not as nice as Le Chouffe.

Harviestoun - Bitter & Twisted 4.2%


Taste: Cold sharp, oaky pleasure. Like bitter lemon, with sawdust. Tangfastic.

Appearance: Some nasty curdling going on. Like the foam you get when boiling chickpeas.

Would you buy 2? Yes, despite the curdling, it tasted good, not of chickpeas (which also taste good).

Would you buy 4? Worried it might curdle my stomach.

Rating (out of 7): 5***** Tasty.

Brewdog - Trashy Blonde 4.1%


Taste: I was worried by the smell, but actually, the first sip is much better than I imagined. The fruitiness from the smell stays there, but there's a hint of sweetness to the beer still. It's actually reminiscent of Orangeboom, the student lager of choice. But in a good way.

Appearance: The first Brewdog bottle that isn't insulting. Well done. Beer is blonde.

Would You Buy 2? I'm not so sure. The metallic taste is coming to get me.

Would You Buy 4? No chance. Hang on... Maybe as a round for four friends or well-wishers.

Rating (Out of 7): 4**** it's a good time beer. But the time being had, is a little boring.

Maui Brewing Co. - Bikini Blonde 5.1%


Taste: usually I run a mile from Helles lager, which tends to be on the toilety side. Or those runged mats in changing rooms. But this has non of that. It feels like Maui brewery just want you to have a relaxing time.

Appearance: Maybe getting a little sleazy on the can but not that sleazy. I'll allow it. Beer is sand yellow.

Would you buy 2? Yes. The deed is done.

Would you buy 4? I think I would, but I'd sooner drink the big hop IPA from Maui. That dame's okay.

Rating (out of 7): 5***** fun, for lager.
