Itchen Valley - Wat Tyler 5%

Taste: Wet, hoppy yet chewy. You could enjoy this in winter as well as in the comfort of a beer garden on a summer's eve. Caramel lip smacks.

Appearance: Wat looks a bit like Nicholas Cage on the bottle. Wat's lesson? Don't fight the poll tax lest you lose your head. Beer is dark brown.

Would you buy 2? Yes.

Would you buy 4? Okay.

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

Piddle Brewery - Premium Ale 4.1%

Taste: That's nice. Even if it's a bit too lively. It's coppery and a little bit fruity. Ooh mamma.

Appearance: wee-joke bottle. Beer doesn't look like wee.

Would you buy 2? Yes.

Would you buy 4? It's possible.

Rating (out of 7): 4**** nice.

Vibrant Forest - Wheatwave 4.8%

Taste: Not usually a fan of English wheat beers, but this is edging it's way towards Belgium in style. Kind of tastes like a tasty bottle of Le Chouffe. Very Tasty.

Appearance: orange to my eyes

Would you buy 2? I have

Would you buy 4? Yes!

Fuller's - Traitor's Gate 4.5%

Taste: Musty autumn ale. It slips down a treat. But it's not going to win any awards for innovation.

Appearance: a pleasing chestnut brown.

Would you buy 2? Not today.

Would you buy 4? For friends

Rating (out of 7): 4****

Art Brew - Baby Anarchist 3.2%

Taste: Watery, zesty and tree bark are the first 3 words used for this ale. A slight bit eggy, a definite horse tail in the mouth and a quick dab with a 9v battery on the tongue.

Appearance: Holds it's own in a darken room.

Would you buy 2? Mmmmm. Could do.

Would you buy 4? No thanks.

Rating (out of 7): 4 * * * *. Good for such a low alcohol ale but not an anarchistic as it would like to think it is.

Grey Trees - Caradog's Bitter 3.8%

Taste: File away into that large section of ales, known as 'Standard Good Ale'. You know the stuff, not mind blowing tastes, nothing weird or wonderful, but pleasant and drinkable and so far removed from Creamflow syndrome you can't accuse it of being bland.

Appearance: Solid tea brown

Would you buy 2? No rush

Would you buy 4? Even less of a rush.

Rating (out of 7): 4 * * * * You won't regret having a couple - but it won't stick it the mind.

Celt - Native Storm 4.4%

Taste: I always get tempted by Celt - it must be the labels - and then the ale is, well, underwhelming. Same story here I'm afraid. Carbon hops and a gassy taste. A metallic flavour that dries out the mouth. It's fine, but that's it.

Appearance: Disco brown

Would you buy 2? Two would not be the end of the world.

Would you buy 4? No.

Rating (out of 7): 3 * * *. It's fine - but so many ales are.

Vibrant Forest Brewery - Metropolis 6%

Taste: A taste almost on par with The Kernel Brewery's Imperial Brown Stout (take 6% abv). It's hoppy, a little smokey and dark.

Appearance: an all enveloping blackness.

Would you buy 2? I have

Would you buy 4? I would

Vibrant Forest Brewery - Vibrant IPA 7.3%

Taste: Interesting stuff. It tastes like a hedgerow. Mega hopped, again. It's fruity, I get a jammy blackcurrenty taste. But I did just eat a curry.

Appearance: brown cloud.

Would you buy 2? I did.

Would you buy 4? I could again.

Rating (out of 7): 5***** another great one from the forest.

Vibrant Forest Brewery - Vibrant Pale Ale Citra 5%

Taste: Oh god. Let this be good... It smells delicious.... Yes!!! It's amazing! Powerfully hopped with Citra. It's so tropical. It's not afraid either, it tastes like you didn't dust your grapefruit half with sugar. Lovely stuff.

Appearance: New brewery from the new forest. It really tastes like they know there stuff and aren't afraid to keep it modern. Beer'a clean and amber in colour.

Would you buy 2? I did. I'm happy.

Would you buy 4? Yes, back for more, I'll be.

Rating (out of 7): 6****** a good start from vibrant forest.

Shipyard Brewing Co. - Double Thumper 5%

Taste: Wow, it's like the autumnal beer from ringwood that I've always known but with a massive bunch of hops poked in there. It's great.

Appearance: Camphor Wood Chest. Two boars on the label.

Would you buy 2? I bought a polypin.

Would you buy 4? I kind of have. I would again.

Rating (out of 7): 5***** delicious

Black Paw - IPA 5%

Would you buy 4? I can't see it today
