Beer | Brewery | ABV (%) | Comments | Score:/10 |
---|
Bad Apple | Carlsberg | 5.10 | 4-blend cider with a slight tang in main body, and sherbet at end. Touch of inspiration from US ciders. | 7.5 |
Barbar | Lefebvre | 8.00 | Bitter and fizzy that often loses the honey taste. Second fermentation in bottle. | 6.0 |
Bavaria Oud bruin | Bavaria | 3.50 | Light other bavaria beer, but fizzy like cola | 7.0 |
Berne | Brewers Union | 5.00 | Unfiltered light golden/amber ale. Slightly dry, with slight rum notes and cream. | 7.5 |
Bersalis | Brasserie Oud Beersel | 9.50 | Recently created beer. Light blond, extra bitterness aftertaste with sweet aroma. With improvement could be a Leffe. | 7.5 |
Best Bitter | Archers | 4.00 | Amber with smooth bitterness. Decent, but not as good as the Golden | 7.0 |
Betty Stogs | Skinners | 4.00 | Cloudy and slow to settle, light bitter colour, biscuit in there, with good mouthfeel, but stains palete slightly - certainly more than it should for session ale (for which this would otherwise be perfect) | 7.0 |
Bhai | Aspall | 6.00 | Weird tangy drink, trying to be a 'proper' cider, but falling into the flavoured alcopop camp. Champagne yeast should have improved things, but just makes it dry. | 7.0 |
Bier Ambree | Page 24 | 6.90 | A solid amber beer, with all expected accoutrements. Better on tap, though. | 7.5 |
Big Lamp Bitter | Big Lamp | 3.90 | Straight bitter taste and texture. | 6.0 |
Big Worse | Mikeller | 12.00 | A barley wine, to all intents and purposes, tight on palete, caustic on aftertaste, with an estery/pungent smell. Maybe with smoky food the aromas would blend, but otherwise drink with a blocked nose :) | 7.0 |
Billy Sunday Bitter | Magnolia Brew Pub | 4.70 | Musky homebrew aroma with golden body and small foam head. Smooth rich, like English ale (Abbot, possibly) despite initial misgivings. Session alt. Not overtly suitable for food. | 8.0 |
Bink | Kerkom | 5.50 | Musky blonde with large head. Tang of bitterness, with initial wetness. Needs neutral pallet. | 7.0 |
Black Ale | Stone Brewing Co. | 5.00 | Sillky black, heading to Budvar black, with many added hops so feels like American IPA | 7.5 |
Black Beauty | Vale | 0.00 | Smooth, roasted, guiness style with less head. Tight on aftertaste. | 7.0 |
Black Buffle | St Austell | 4.50 | A mild, but with fizz. Satiates too quickly, but otherwise pleasant. | 6.5 |
Black Dog Freddy | Beckstones | 3.80 | Black in name and nature. Not hollow, but balanced and slight in taste and a/t. Mellow throughout, while keeping all characteristics of a mild. Grows to session. | 8.0 |
Black hole | Roman | 5.60 | Grolsch with a metallic hue. But, considering it’s only a pils, it’s not that bad. | 4.0 |
Black Jack Porter | Cliff Quay | 4.50 | Named for the anisseed sweet, much more pronounced in aroma, less in taste. If only it could have followed through. | 7.5 |
Black Swan Mild | Vale | 3.90 | Black with coloured bubbles. Thin tingle of aftertaste, carbonated mouthfeel | 7.0 |
Blackeney Red SV Perry | Hacks | 6.20 | Smooth, sweet, rounded, no sticky aftertaste. | 7.5 |
Blakeney Red | Hecks | 6.50 | Enjoyable tartness, good kick, Wonderful! | 8.5 |
Blonde | Daleside | 3.90 | Pale and golden beer with the usual blend of hops and malt in both aroma and aftertaste. The latter quickly dies. Good, but unexceptional. | 7.0 |
Blonde | Abolition Brewery | 5.20 | Traditional Belgian blonde, but a little too sharp | 7.0 |
Blone | Savour | 5.80 | Pine and fruity are lurking here, but it was too skunky and stodgy to get through | 6.0 |
Bob | Wickwar | 4.00 | Light and malt tastes, dry bitterness. | 7.0 |
Boerken | De Proefbrouwerij | 9.50 | Dark ruby red with fullsome head. Good aroma, nice solid bitterness & extra layer of port as it hits the throat. Flavour dissipates with food. | 7.0 |
Bohemia Regent | Prezident | 6.00 | Dark Czech beer, but disappointing since expectant. Nothing to comment, but have after their blond version since the fizz of the former benefits this | 6.5 |
Bohemia Regent | J.W.Lees | 5.00 | Crisp, dry, with fizz. Fulfills expectations, without exceeding in anything. | 8.0 |
Bohmeia Regent | Prezident | 4.40 | Very light, thin, almost cider silk, with some bitterness | 6.5 |
Boltmaker | Timothy Taylor | 4.00 | Proper Yorkshire bitter with very little to commend or distract. | 6.0 |
Bowling Jack | Unknown | 0.00 | Found in Krakow. Has an edge of bitterness with cuts off any flavour developing. Needs food to divert from this fact. +1 to score if food is present. | 6.0 |
Boxing Dog | Mr Whitehead | 7.50 | Cloudy, and close a perry. Slightly rough. Medium-dry with multiple apples. | 7.0 |
Brain Blasta | Porterhouse | 7.00 | Golden and compact offwhite head. Sweet aroma and malty taste. Weak fizz and long bitter a/t | 8.0 |
Brakspear Triple | Brakspear | 7.20 | Nuts in taste, and on the nose. With soft caramel and malts. Like and English Chimay. Has three processes. Goes with blue cheese. | 9.0 |
Brand Dark Brown | Brand | 3.50 | Brown ale, like name suggests. Light malt taste (like a malzbier-lite), strong aftertaste of hop and honey, with all tastes pulling together. | 8.0 |
Brand Imperator | Brand | 6.50 | Amber, rich rounded taste but dissapates quickly. Mild CO2 content. | 7.0 |
Brand Pils | Brand | 5.00 | Despite being a pils, and from Heineken, this has a good hoppy taste which follows through into aftertaste. In short pils with bite and interest. Not disilimar to Urquell. | 8.5 |
Brand Urtyp | Brand | 5.50 | Original recipe pils with mild hop, which strengthen on aftertaste. More watery than standard | 6.5 |
Brave Red Ale | Rothhammer | 4.50 | Deep amber with red. Cream head. Fruit touches with orange and sweetness. | 7.0 |
Bread of Heaven | Brains | 4.00 | Highly average age, pretending to be a light ruby. | 6.0 |
Brewer's Dark | J W Lees | 3.50 | Smooth beers with underlying sweetness and very light licorice and chocolate. Good, but unexceptional. | 7.0 |
Brodies Amarilla | Brodies | 4.20 | Pale ale with unusual (Armarilla) hop. Like a weak Bulgarian brandy, but without the aromatic nose. | 6.0 |
Brodies Mild | Brodies | 3.60 | Dry, slightly fizzy. Classic in an 'also-run' kinda way | 7.0 |
Brooklyn Beer | Brooklyn Brewery | 5.20 | Light soft malts, mild hop. Not your usual pils, but tastes ok. | 7.0 |
Brown Ale | ØRBÆK | 5.80 | Deep ruby colour with slight foam head. Undiscernable aroma. Vibrant mouth feel, bitterness starts small but grows. Rubiness on after taste. Highly quaffable. | 6.5 |
Buccaneer Xmas | Ertvelde brewery | 9.50 | Fizz overpowers the soft taste. | 6.0 |
Budding | Stroud | 4.50 | A straw coloured pale ale - a standard that ticks all the boxes with sweet malt and floral. | 7.5 |
Bursztynowe | Zawiercia | 5.60 | malty amber with lingering CO2 and a touch of caramel | 7.0 |
Burton Bitter | Marston | 3.80 | Golden red in colour, but a light beer, with slight hoppy tang, and biscuit taste as it washes past. | 7.5 |
Bush Amber | Duboission | 12.00 | Strong beer, despite the colour. Bitter sweet with strong firmness. | 9.5 |
Butty Bach | Wye Valley Brewery | 4.50 | Full but understated ale, disipating head, smooth and light with dedicate fizz. | 8.5 |
