Here are the beer cellar reviews, listed according to their scores. Those graded
with identical scores are listed together, without any significance to their
internal order.
Beer | Brewery | ABV (%) | Comments | Score:/10 |
---|
Duivel Bier | Brouwerij Boon | 8.00 | Translates as either Devil or Diabolical. Strong dark beer, with solid bitterness, but hollow taste. Don't confused with Duvel. | 5.0 |
Medium sweet | Winkleigh | 6.00 | Thin, looks like weak cordial. Boisterous taste. Better as an accompaniment. | 5.0 |
Sagres Bohemia | Central de Cervejas | 6.20 | Brown red, without head. Slightly hoppy aftertaste. | 5.0 |
Cintra | Cervejarias | 4.80 | Little yellow, clean pils, with slight bitterness, but lots of fizziness | 5.0 |
Super Bock | Unicer | 5.60 | Pale honey yellow, without head and targets lager boys. Unmalted cereals, with glucose syrups so not a bright lager. | 5.0 |
Wech??? | | 0.00 | Fizzy at start with full creamy hop. Bitter on aftertaste. Later tang of biscuit leading to good continued mouthfeel. | 5.0 |
Umbrel | | 3.60 | Smooth with a coriandar taste, but no after-taste tang. Slightly buzz if quaffed. | 5.0 |
Roisin Tayberry | Heather | 4.20 | Overpowering on Tayberry (whatever fruit that is!) Entirely dependent on whether you like that specific fruit! | 5.0 |
Jever | Jever Frisian Brewery | 4.90 | Light ale with clean aroma but bitter back bite, and sourness at end. | 5.0 |
Kulmbacher Doppelbock | Kulmbacher | 7.50 | Ruby in colour and red malty flavour. Not too sweet. | 5.0 |
Eku | SeyBrew | 0.00 | Light ruby beer | 5.0 |
Koff | Sinebrychoff brewery | 4.50 | Finnish beer. Clean pils, but nothing special | 5.0 |
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 |
Flower Power | Whim | 5.30 | Sherbet nose, lemon zest, bitter after-taste. Light amber in colour, with pangs of crushed paracetamol! | 5.0 |
Cider Lady's Finger SV | Hecks | 6.50 | A surprisingly vingery taste, and not that pleasant. Surprising, given the maker. | 5.0 |
Old Bloomer | Concrete Cow | 4.70 | Light ruby in colour, and put under the 'best bitter' category. Overiding hazlenut flavours, and strong pungent aroma to match. Vibrant fizzy ale, which settles down in aftertaste. Slightly sharp. | 5.0 |
Dragons Tale | Marstons | 4.50 | Rich red and creamy mouthfeel. Very little bitterness, which hangs in the a/t. | 5.0 |
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 |
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 |
Queen | ØRBÆK | 5.00 | Clear golden, good head. Heiniken smell. Fizzy, rounded light beer with a lemon after taste. Light version of OPA, without the piercing fizziness you get from a lager | 5.0 |
Peach Beer | ØRBÆK | 5.00 | Cloudy golden with distinctive fresh peach smell. Alas, all the peach is in the smell not the flavour, making it an undiscernable bitter beer. Lost opportunity so much promise in the smell but no peach flavour, this has the potential to be a good beer wit | 5.0 |
Poachers Ale | Sandstone | 4.40 | Weak and fizzy. | 5.0 |
Pheonix - Fresh | Pheonix | 3.50 | From Mauritius - selling point 1. Has lemon flavours - selling point 2. Cheap - selling point 3. None convinced me. | 5.0 |
O'Kane Stout | O'Kane | 0.00 | Watery, with nothing memorable. Thicker consistency when on draught. | 5.0 |
O'Kane Red | O'Kane? | 0.00 | Watery barley water, which has been shown a bottle of Ribena, once :( | 5.0 |
Canada | Dominion | 4.00 | A dark amber beer that lacks any notes of distinction. But it's from Essex, so can't be given any lower than 5. | 5.0 |
The Ale of Leven | Loch Lomond | 4.50 | Hopefully this was off as the notes of sour vinegar didn't match the description of a sweet yet spicy, amber ale | 5.0 |
La Zia Ale | Birra Damare | 5.50 | Trying too hard to be different with rosemary and artichoke's in the brew. Fails. | 5.0 |
