Hepworth & Co Brewers - Classic Old Ale 4.8%

Taste: Winter's coming with this Ale. I've turned the heat on... Pretty nice, there's a sweetness and a hoppy finale. Then you're left with a toasted biscuit and malt melee. I can imagine that this would be heaven from a keg.

Appearance: Coke. Identical. Understated bottle.

Would you buy 2? Probably.

Would you buy 4? On Christmas eve.

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

Hepworth & Co Brewers - Pullman 4.2%

Taste: It has a nice smell on it. Nice smooth taste too. I trust Hepworth. Nothing too fancy, but it's done very well. A nice well rounded railway based bitter.

Appearance: Railways of the United Kingdom. Ale is that of a rusty third rail. Don't touch!

Would you buy 2? Yes I would.

Would you buy 4? I could drink four. Pub!!!

Rating (out of 7): 5***** just nice and wholesome.

Arundel - Sussex Gold 4.2%

Taste: Immediately, copped pipes and all sorts of brackets spring to mind. It tastes like someone dropped their coinage into the mash tun. Not entirely unpleasant, however. The taste is lifted quite a lot by a salty snack. Brewed, perhaps for those beer jockeys, slumped at the pump, piling up their coins?

Appearance: Copper.

Would you buy 2? I might buy two. I don't see why not?! It's quite pleasant.

Would you buy 4? If the draft version was less coppery, then I might consider it.

Rating (out of 7): 3*** in its current earthly form, how could I possibly award it four?

Arundel - Special Bitter ASB 4.5%

Taste: Pow! That's malty. Then smooth. A tasty ride for sure. Quite sweet with some hops there too. Toasted marshmallows.

Appearance: Shocking Red. Nice simple bottle won't dazzle the eye and give you any nasty worries.

Would you buy 2? Yes. Definitely.

Would you buy 4? Yup! I'd love to get my hands on a cask pint of this.

Rating (out of 7): 6****** Right-On bottled ale.
