Freeminer - Jubilation 4%


Taste: Oh dear. Watery and a bit fetid. There's a poor homebrew vibe and ultimately it's bland not refreshing.  It has the punch of a soggy cardboard box. Then there's a carbon dioxide over-fizziness trying to compensate for it all. Sorry. This ale is a part of the Co-op range.

Appearance: Like liquid sun rays / golden urine.

Would you buy 2? It's cheap, but I would still avoid it.

Would you buy 4? Best to stay clear to be honest.

Rating (out of 7): * * 2. Avoids the one star because I will finish it, but I want no more.

Freeminer - Goldminer 5%

Extreme ale close up
Taste:  Citrus and metal and a bit of a fizzy egg vibe. I'm enjoying this and then the old 9v battery taste rears it's head and burns my mouth. But all in all pleasant enough. This ale is part of the Co Op range.

Appearance:  A warm distant sun.

Would you buy 2?  This could happen.

Would you buy 4?  This is unlikely to happen.

Rating (out of 7):  4 * * * *. It's fine.
