Windsor & Eton Brewery - Knight of the Garter Golden Ale 3.8%


Taste: This has a nice clean smelling Hoppy nose. I'm excited. Phew! It's nice! Wow, it's really good. My first gulp was huge, like a big thirsty bear. It's light and citrusy, but with some subtle biscuit flavours in there too.

Appearance: It poured with a perfect head. It looks inviting. Lightly carbonated. Very clear amber liquid.

Would you buy 2? Uh oh, this has gone down too fast. I'd like the chance to buy one. I'd also buy two.

Would you buy 4? I'd also buy four.

Rating (out of 7): 5***** This could be a great go-to thirst-quenching, mind-relaxing, golden ale.

Windsor & Eton Brewey - Conqueror 1075 Black IPA 7.4%



Taste: This beer is set nine years after whatever William the Conquerer did at the battle of Hastings. Perhaps the sequel to those events. Oh god... I love ale, It's so stouty. F**k! It's bloody. Like a battle... It's giving me a feeling of Euphoria because I haven't drunk ale since Christmas and I've been reading Game of Thrones. Tastes like all my favorite things; Marmite, Whiskey, Licorice and Cigars.

Appearance: It's got Facebook and Twitter icons on it. It's a vain attempt to drag a medieval ale into the twenty-first century. The label actually lowers my expectations... Quite eighties. Noughties taste.

Would you buy 2? Yeah. But I didn't buy the first one. The person typing this review bought it for me.

Would you buy 4? No. Too stouty... You can't drinks four of these.

Rating (out of 7): 5***** Best served after a whole block of blue cheese, a whole bottle of Port, a bowl of Peanut M&M's.
