Beer | Brewery | ABV (%) | Comments | Score:/10 |
---|
Gannet Mild | Earl Soham | 3.30 | A dark lager from Suffolk with aspirations to be a mild. (Let alone a well-balanced one.) | 5.5 |
Gentse Trippel | Brouwerij Van Steenberge | 8.00 | Wet, bitter, decent after kick | 7.0 |
George's Best | Mauldons | 4.40 | Light golden colour, but very smooth mouthfeel. Bitter has soft touch, with it hitting soft but fair at start, and disappates in mouth. | 6.0 |
Ginger and Chilli Cider | Orchard Pig Maverick | 4.00 | Refreshing and low to average bite. They say sip. I say gulp, otherwise the chilli is lost. | 7.0 |
Ginger Explosion | TSA | 5.00 | Strong rush with syrup texture at start, but only with subtle ginger. Quick to satiate. Coating on palette is only available mouthfeel, nothing in taste. Not a ginger beer, and not enough ginger to be a beer with ginger. Better gulped. | 7.0 |
Gingers | Kompania Piwowarska SA | 4.10 | Bright yellow with ginger coating. Initial thoughts of cider. due to sweet on 1st taste. Satiates very quickly. To be shared between many. | 7.0 |
Gladiator | Lilley's | 8.50 | Strong rustic cider, like a slightly thinned scrumpy with raw touches, without being painful | 8.0 |
Golden Drop | Barbourne | 5.00 | Apple juice with passion fruit tang. No fizz. Highly pleasant. | 8.0 |
Golden Export | Gordon Biersch | 5.00 | Large foam head, very light golden, surprising dry bitter, heading drier about 20 seconds into a/t | 7.5 |
Golden Honey wheat | ØRBÆK | 5.00 | Musky golden colour with large head. Undiscerning aroma with orange. Better with food, such as ham or pork fillet/loin or roast cooked simply with light flavours | 5.0 |
Golden Jackal | Wolf | 3.70 | Hoppy taste with flowers and citrus. Decent, but unremarkable. | 7.0 |
Golden Pride | Fullers | 8.50 | Mahogany red, with toffee, spices, and malt flavours. Imagine a London Pride, but turned to 11. | 9.0 |
Golden Pride (tap) | Fullers | 8.50 | As stunning as the bottled variety, with extra heat on a/t, like aroma of double salt licorice. Needs a coupe of mouthfulls to get into it. | 9.0 |
Golden Valley | Breconshire Brewery | 4.20 | Single variety soft hop. Gentle and direct bitterness with subtle tastes. Session. | 7.5 |
Goldenberg | Gayant Brewers | 5.90 | Everyday blonde. Nothing overly prominent (such as hop or malt). | 6.5 |
Good King Legless | Harviestoun | 4.50 | Mellow taste, that drops smoothly down, with a bite at the back. Sharp bitterness at back of tongue. Slight scent of orange peel and malt. | 7.0 |
Good King Senseless | Vale Brewery | 5.20 | Solid and straight beer, with little fizz and mild bitterness. But nothing specifically Christmasy | 7.0 |
Govier Dry Cider | Govier | 6.00 | Dry with slightly sour vinegar taste | 6.0 |
Grand Union Gold | Grand Union | 4.20 | Smoother, less bitter than the Union Bitter and decent aroma. Light, hollow aftertaste. | 6.5 |
Grapefruit IPA | Tailgate | 6.20 | Very fruity, but light on beery. | 6.5 |
Grasshopper Kentish Beer | Westerham | 3.80 | Rich dark ale, slight co2, caramel texture aftertaste. Similar to Shepherd Neames, due (no doubt) to their similar reliance on the Kent hops. | 7.0 |
Gravediggers mild | Church End | 3.80 | Mild taste, with burnt nose, and resonating soft toffee taste. A light porter. Dry on aftertaste. | 7.5 |
Gravensteen | Van Steenberge | 9.00 | Nice double malt, smooth without a too bitter a/t. Would be a pleasant session ale - but not at this strength. Quite fizzy, especially on initial tasting | 6.5 |
Grottenbeir | St Bernadus | 6.50 | Aromatic dark ale, thin, but nice taste. CO2 holds in the mouth | 8.0 |
Grottenbier | Brouwerij ST.Bernard | 6.50 | Kept cool in caves at 11, this has 2nd bottle fermentation, and medium dark look with more taste than expected. Really tasty. | 9.0 |
Grozet | William Bros Brewing Company | 5.00 | A gooseberry beer. Gimmick, for sure, but as a doubly fermented beer that's half way between light ale and wheat beer is more drinkable that it should be! | 8.0 |
Gulden Draak | Brewery Van Steenberge | 10.50 | Triple. Dark as Kasteel Bruin, with a light tart-ness like a Faro or Gueuze. Good beer, but not sure what it wants to be. | 8.0 |
Gunners Daughter | Old Cannon | 5.50 | Fizzy, yet rich, strong ale that's smooth throughout - from taste, to fullsome mouthfeel, to after-taste. Undetermined hop taste with fruity hops. | 7.5 |
Gunpowder Strong Mild | Coach House | 3.80 | Sweet and smooth mild, with traditional black colouring. Slight aftertaste of note, but preceeding emptiness is disappointing. | 5.0 |
Guv'nor Cider | Westons | 4.80 | Made with Pierre Marco-White, it's a high tannin cider with light co2 and hazy look. Unremarkable, but drinkable. Better with food, maybe? (e.g. french onion soup, shropshire blue cheese, scotch eggs) | 7.0 |
Gwatkins Perry | Gwatkins | 8.00 | Fizzy, full mouthfeel, continues to tingle in aftertaste | 8.0 |
