Would you buy 2?: a sigh of apathy
Would you buy 4?: no. No. No.
Rating: 2. Not offensive but very very bland

J. W. Lees - Brewer's Dark 3.2%
Taste: Definite hint of dandelion and burdock and lots of watery smoke. It's all so mild.... Not an ale to be afraid of! You just drink it and it's gone, with memories few and far between. A strange dreamlike ale.
Appearance: Dark brown labrador
Would you buy two? You might, then you would instantly forget.
Would you buy four? Shhhhhh.
Rating: * * * (but a good three!)
Piddle in the Hole - Wyre Piddle Brewery (3.6%)
Taste: Light and airy, I could imagine chosing this as an oxygen substitute if forced to in the future. Thirst quenching but quite bland, like overly diluted lemon squash, without the lemon. A marathon runner would choose this after a strenuous jog. Doesn't taste like piss despite the name. A plus point.
Appearance: Casual brown.
Would you buy 2? Whilst partaking is some light sport (i.e. game of rounders) perhaps.
Would you buy 4? No, there's more to life.
Rating: * * *. A solid three. One for the summer?

Purbeck Brewery - Best 3.6%
Taste: hint of toilet. Barley and honey. Familiar. Izal toilet paper from the 50's. Broccoli taste. Treacley tongue. We've got a 9volter! (tastes like putting your Tongue on a 9 volt battery). What's that taste..... MALT
Appearance: mushy. Cloudy. Tate and lye's golden syrup. Dinosaur blood.
Would you buy 2? Not today. Maybe as a trick for an enemy,
Would you buy 4? No. I'd have to be heavily pressured into this. At gunpoint.
Rating (out of 7): 3*** get in the drawer of average ales. Sick!
Kelham Island - Best 3.6%
Taste: smooth, not really strong tasting at all. It might even be.... Lemon!!! Or citrus. Yes. Citrus.
Appearance: Amber. That's safe.
Would you buy 2? Yes.
Would you buy 4? No. Laughs*
Rating (out of 7): 3* middle of the road. Not a session beer!
Location:Bankes arms
DT4 - The Royal Standard 4.5%
Taste: soulless name. Tastes like it's off. Foul.
Appearance: cloudy brown.
Would you buy 2? Never!!! Don't ask me again
Would you buy 4? Out of the question!
Rating (out of 7): **2 poor
Location:Bankes arms
Kelham Island - Pride of Sheffield 4%
Taste: Just like honey. A welcome relief after that sick before. Smells like cowpats. I've just had tea but it's very irony. BreAdy aftertaste. Tart! Like cheap perfume.
Appearance: golden. Pretty.
Would you buy 2? Just did.
Would you buy 4? No. Not sure I would. Not enough interest.
Rating (out of 7): 4**** it's light relief.
Location:Bankes arms
Purbeck Brewery - Solar Power 3.8%
Taste: smells like public toilet. But not unpleasant. Kelpy. It's widely accept as being delish. Smells great to a lady nose. But smells terrible to a man nose.
Appearance: goldies fur or nectar. Light. Pale. 100% visibility.
Would you buy 2? Yes. 2 and a half to be exact.
Would you buy 4? In my lifetime, yes. And have done.
Rating (out of 7): 5***** split vote

Marston's - Pedigree 5%
Taste: "official beer of england"? There's a reason why this hasn't been reviewed before. If this is the taste of England, I'm moving to Wales. It tastes like the last time you will ever know moisture in your mouth. Like the second you wake after a night pounding tequila.... Hang on. It's growing on me.....oiiiiii Oiiiiiii!!!!
Appearance: copper penny.
Would you buy 2? No. I wouldn't. Its too nothing. I'm tasting it. But it's like... So what!
Would you buy 4? Stop asking me!!! No!
Rating (out of 7): 2** another stinker. But someone has to review 'em! These overly patriotic beers are giving British ale a bad name.
Location:Ferndown,United Kingdom
Fuller's - ESB 5.9%
Taste: like brown bread crust. Not seeded. I need a dippy egg.
Appearance: liver failure beige
Would you buy 2? Maybe. Yeah I would.
Would you buy 4? Too bready. Breakfast ends in the morning you know.
Rating (out of 7): 4**** not too bad. It would probably be a bakers best pint. ESB stands for extra special bread. It's special because it's wet.
Location:Ferndown,United Kingdom
Directors - Courage 4.8%
Taste: yeasty. What sideways did for merlot and sex and the city did for Chardonnay, partridge did for directors. Although, it's deserved in this case. Stinky yeast fest. No wonder he moved to fosters.
Appearance: Amber.
Would you buy 2? I didn't buy 1. It was found in the cupboard.
Would you buy 4? For a joke, yes.
Rating (out of 7): 2** not so great.
