Sagres Bohemia | Central de Cervejas | 6.20 | Brown red, without head. Slightly hoppy aftertaste. | 5.0 |
Sagres Preta | Central de Cervejas | 4.10 | Dark beer, with deep red and ruby color. Harsh bitterness. If you hate coffee - you'll score this 3. | 7.0 |
Saison - 01|05 - Saphir & Lemon | Brew by Numbers | 5.30 | Light and refreshing, but with taste. Impressive piece of work. | 8.5 |
Santa's Nuts | Fox Brewery | 4.80 | Mild in structure, but not aromatic in anyway. Thin. Tastes a bit like hairspray, with raspy-ness on tongue. | 4.0 |
Santas Little Helper | Caledonian | 3.70 | This is copper red in colour with a large foam head and already looks the Christmas part. Malt aroma, with sweet caramel taste, but ending in bitterness. Slight tangs of fruit and leaf. | 7.5 |
Sara's Ruby Mild | Magnolia Brew Pub | 3.90 | Very light with a touch of ruby, even less of mild. Fizz, especially on a/t. | 6.0 |
Sarah's Day | | 6.00 | Thin and golden cider | 6.0 |
Schöfferhofer Hefeweizen | Binding-Brauerei (Oetker Group) | 5.00 | Sweet apple and citrus aroma. Amber colour wheat beer with tang of green banana. Not much of aftertaste, which is fortunate given the fruits already present. | 8.0 |
Schiehallion | Harviestoun | 4.80 | Hoppy, strong and spicy which jumps out; something to remind you that lager can bite. | 8.5 |
Schwarzbier | Gordon Biersch | 4.29 | Good darker ale with roasted coffe-like finish and soft, slightly sweet and dry, malty over tones. But no points of difference from the 100 similar wannabe's in the market. | 7.5 |
Scrum Down! | Twickenham Fine Ales | 3.90 | Smooth bitter with crisp malty top. Dual malts may deter some. | 6.5 |

Shaky Bridges | Sandford | 6.00 | Fizzy, slightly sweet cider. Light orange to color and orange rind in after taste. Inoffensive. | 7.0 |
Shed Head | Backyard Brewery | 4.60 | US-style IPA dry hopped with Cascade and Citra, but very much a Pale Ale. Fulfills on its promises | 7.5 |
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale | Sierra Nevada | 5.60 | Bottle conditioned with truly golden colour. Looks of honey, but taste slightly apricot and/or peach. | 6.0 |
Sion Kolsch | Sion | 4.80 | Smooth, mildly hoppy, and refreshing. Light in colour and taste, not really a pils, but simple. | 7.0 |
Skipper Clememts American Pale A | Svaneke Bryghuset | 5.70 | Musty golden colour and floral aroma. Average pale ale, with nothing to distinguish it from other beers. Unfiltered but with little residue. | 5.0 |

Smokin Angel | Leighton Buzzard | 4.50 | Light-weight rauchbier, with smoke, malt, and all the expected tastes. But in a "lite" format. Still worthwhile. | 8.0 |

Sparkling | Savour | 10.50 | Floral, honey and spice on the nose, with bright fizz. Presentation is of champers with similar expectations, but misses. Therefore, drink is a let down, when it shouldn't be. | 7.0 |
Spindrift | Adnams | 5.00 | Cold filtered, tastes not disimillar to Leffe Blonde | 9.0 |

St Mungo | West Beer | 4.90 | Tight bitterness, light but filling with rounded fizzziness and butter on nose to follow through. A/t is dry bitterness that disappears on tongue (touches sides), but holds and follows through finishing crisp | 8.0 |
St. Bernardus Abt 12 | St. Bernardus | 10.50 | Rich ruby brown colour with spice and herbs in the taste, alongside the typical caramel and chocolate. | 9.0 |

Stout - 08|01 - Export Strength | Brew by Numbers | 6.60 | The stout's also good, with more of an espresso tang that I was expecting. | 7.5 |
Stout Kong Arthur | Rise Bryggeri | 6.00 | Dense black beer, with roast grain and bitter chocolate on the nose. Rich roasted grain and smooth warming taste, between a stout and a mild. Would hold its own in the UK stout market | 8.0 |
Strandgaper | Schelde Brouwrik | 6.20 | Musky golden with tart stringent notes, with dry banana a/t, giving it more a wheat beer feel than blond of its description | 7.5 |
Strong Arm | Camerons | 4.00 | Deep ruby red coloured ale. Small full cream head. Tingles on tongue before a rush of smooth cream overpowers it. Lefted with creamed layer on tongue, and velvet head on lips. | 8.5 |

Super Bock - Lemon | Unicer | 4.00 | Overiding lemon syrup with strains of Desperados, but with additional sweetness. Similar tannins of whisky beer. | 7.5 |
Super Bock - Stout | Unicer | 5.00 | Same visual look as cola. Soft coffee cream texture. co2 on side of mouth, smooth feel once this goes. Not stout in the traditional word. | 7.0 |
Sweet Chariot | Marston | 4.80 | Spicy, strong smell on nose - but not palette, citrus fruit and hops. | 7.5 |
Sweetheart Stout | Tennent Caledonian Breweries | 2.00 | Pours with consistency of cola, but less fizz. Aroma is spicy and sweet-between cinnamon and aniseed, which follows in the tastes. Thin, un-stout like. Holds well, easy drinker. | 7.5 |
