St. Ives Brewery - Boilers Golden Cornish Ale 4%



Taste: The lights go dim. The crowd roars, and the announcer cries out "ladies and gentlemen, it's Ale time!"

Just as those famous words will begin every performance by St. Ives brewery, they are the perfect words to describe what you are in for when you drop this ale on your table and spin it. Herein you shall find many gems that will be staples in St Ives brewery for years to come. But taste them, all in one powerful ale. And baby does this ale have something for everybody! You may feel this ale is a lesson in funky brewing. Its the coolest ale you'll ever see, brought to you by St Ives Brewery.

Appearance: standing drinking alone, two hands that hold and finger the ale glass. One mouth that drinks an ale but nobody else's ale, only St Ives ale.

Would you buy 2? if you will teach me to make ale, I will teach you to make love. That's a yes.

Would you buy 4? Out of unfathomed depths of ocean this ale rises like a radiant maiden glorifying the night. As it reveals its beauty the earth and sky, indeed all nature adores it.

Rating (out of 7): 6****** this whole ale conjures up pictures of hot sunny beaches, beautiful girls, bronzed young men and surf boards. An ale that will tempt you to roll back the carpet, invite some friends, and have a party.

Skinner's - St. Pirran's Ale 4.5%

Taste: So drinkable. A fuzzy burst of goodness on your tongue. Smooth, not too sweet and a hint of a brass goblet. Tastes like it has been stirred with an asparagus tip and this is good! Easy to gulp, if ale is required quickly.

Would you buy 2? They would slip down in an easy hazy way.


Would you buy 4? Yes, especially if you were in a rush to drink a delicious ale.

Taste: Rack off wasps, this honey drop is mine! But wait, how much honey goodness is in here? Not enough for an average size bee! This ale needs more going on. The words 'bland noodles' have just been uttered... Gosh! Overall, it is refreshing and drinkable but a little unexciting.

Would you buy 2? Yes I would! One for you, one for me.


Would you buy 4? Not enough excitement to drink four.


Rating: * * * *
