Ramblers Ruin | Breconshire Brewery | 5.00 | Dark amber beer made with crystal and black malts. Mild tastings, smooth with sensible head and good body. Holds with soft malt in mouth. Touch of biscuit. | 8.0 |
Raspbeery | Meantime | 6.50 | Defies expectation: not Belgian in style. Not sweet. Slight sour taste, growing in after-taste. (sour difference here is akin to that of cherry and morella cherry). Good approach to sourness, but no sense of wonder like a good gueze. | 6.0 |
Rauchbier Märzen | Brauerei Heller-Trum | 5.10 | A slightly red, smoked beer! Like bacon or kippers, but never overpowering. | 9.0 |
Raven Dark | The Raven of Bath | 4.20 | Dark w/chesnut red tinge. Thin, but washing up liquid in essence. Feels like a missed opportunity. | 6.5 |
Rød Quinua | Søgaards Bryghus | 4.50 | Golden red beer with fruit blossom. Morrello (sour) cherry. Not sure if this is trying to be a ruby beer and misses or a fruit beer and makes it. | 8.0 |
Red Barn | Tirrel | 4.40 | Ruby red ale, with rounder light malt and off hop, which culminates in a strong hop finish. | 6.5 |
Red Ember | H Prick Brewery | 4.60 | Slight red bitterness on side on mouth, although not a particularly great ruby, but it is pleasant in colour. Taste doesn't hold. No aftertaste or bite. | 6.5 |
Red Herring | Green Jack | 4.20 | Smoked, but not rauchen, beer with nice malt. Made with Challenger hops. Notes of fruit and dry finish | 8.0 |
Red hunter | Hammerpot | 4.30 | Flowing red ale with roasted malt, and long finish. Prefix with Red Barn (e.g.) to get an extra coffee hit | 7.5 |
Red Riding Hood | Castle Rock | 4.30 | Reddish beer, with bitterness and fruit. | 7.0 |
Redhook ESB | Redhook | 5.80 | Like full sail, with extra bitterness. ESB might be modeled after UK-style ESB, but it isn't. | 7.5 |
Redstreak SV | Perry’s of Somerset | 6.00 | A cider, despite the name. Medium sweet, intoxicating aroma. Good introduction to real cider. | 8.0 |
Redwing | Potton | 4.80 | Red means ruby - ruby in full-bodied visual appeal, ruby in follow through, ruby in the malt and fruit aroma. Quickly dying fruit finish. | 8.0 |
Reindeers Delight | Oakleaf | 4.50 | Combined crystal and chocolate malts give this a rounded taste with soft bitterness, effective raisin and sultana aftertaste. Constant hop through. | 7.0 |
Revival | Mordue | 3.80 | Golden colour, dry bitterness with fizz and large foam head. Touch of ginger, with rounded honey a/t. | 7.0 |
Rhubarbed | Sandford Orchard's | 5.50 | Tang of rhubarb, hence the name, but despite the gimmick is dry-to-medium and complex. | 8.0 |
Rhymney Dark | Rhymney | 4.00 | Good rounded brown mild, with touches of licorice. Aftertaste cuts out immediately, but returns seconds later with bitterness. | 7.0 |
Rigas Pils | Rigas | 5.20 | Lithuianian pils with slightly sharp bitterness. Highly CO2, which holds. | 5.5 |
Rince Cochon | Unknown Flandres | 8.50 | Fragrant and oily beer, with extra hop. Would be considered a good supermarket branded beer, but pretends to be more | 7.0 |
Rochefort Trappist 10 | Rochefort | 11.30 | Deep rich aroma, chocolate with sweetness and licorice. | 9.5 |
Rodenbach Grand Cru | Brouwerij Rodenbach (Palm) | 6.00 | "Happy Juice" | 9.0 |
Roisin Tayberry | Heather | 4.20 | Overpowering on Tayberry (whatever fruit that is!) Entirely dependent on whether you like that specific fruit! | 5.0 |
Roundhead Perry | Cromwell's | 5.20 | Simple perry. Direct in flavour. Highly drinkable. | 8.0 |
Ruby Mild | Hopshackle | 5.80 | Dark ruby in colour, with light foam head. Basic malt aromd, but sweet malts means strains of Belgian stout, "Hercule" are here - only without the licorice. | 8.0 |
Rum Cask Cider | Millwights | 6.00 | Medium tasting, respectable cider. Not as good as their Kingston Black, but decent enough to be a good sign for the maker | 7.0 |
Rye o Rye | Alchemy | 5.60 | Biscuit golden dark amber. Soft bitter w/slight attack on a/t. Large head which dissipates after 5 minutse and/or 3rd moutful. | 7.5 |
