Framboise Boon

Lighter sour ale with a big raspberry hit. Not too sweet and not too sour which suits me fine. 6.5/10.

Gose To Hollywood 2.0

Lighter but still very sour gose ale. Strong lime flavours and gooseberry hints. Not my thing but the flavours are strong for a 3.8%er. 6.5/10.

Oort Cloud

Lighter, hazy and slightly orangey pale. It's a crowded field and I'm afraid this doesn't stand out despite clocking in at 4.5%. 6.5/10. Beer52 2402 04.

Dirty Bastard

Dark, sweet and full of raisin flavours. Malty with perhaps a coffee finish and a very good example of an old fashioned ale. Pretty drinkable 8.5%er. 7.5/10. Beerwulf AC23 07.

45 Dias Mexican Lager

Light and slightly zesty Mexican style lager. Maybe a bit too light and is most likely looking for lime to be added which doesn't always endear me to a beer. 6/10. Beerwulf AC23 05.

Geuze Mariage Parfait (2018)

Sharp, full but bitter geuze. Not to sour which is great for me but the sharp bitterness is pushing it past grapefruit into slight rubber. Not a fave but I appreciate what is being attempted and so getting a 6/10.

45 Days Rice Lager

Very light but smooth lager. Gentle but with some depth. Definitely different and well worth 7/10. Beer52 2306 07.

Blueberry Kettle Sour

Sour and fruity ale. Sharp but thin on the flavours. Bit too light and a bit low on the ABV. 5/10. Beer Hawk AC22 11.

Peter, Pale and Mary Gluten Free

Well flavoured and smooth pale. Hazy but slightly grassy beer. 6.5/10.

Solar Flare

Light and fruity session pale with a drying finish. Mangoy with a papaya finish. I like the refreshment. 7/10. Beer52 2204 10.

Velvet Rush

Very rich and intense brown ale. Loads of chocolate depth, coffee hints and vanilla flavours with a very boozy finish. If dark beers are your bag then this is a belter and at 11.1% it's a true beast. 9/10. Beer Hawk AC21 18.

Between the Lines

Hoppy and bitter pale with a mouthfeely finish. Very citrusy heading towards grapefruity. Different but I like it. The fruity bitterness is my kind of beer. 8/10. Beer Hawk AC21 07.

Cloud 9 Wit 2.0

Very fruity wheat beer. Orange hints with a little banana yeast at the end. Pleasant if a little light. 6.5/10. Beer52 2111 09.

American Dream Extra Dry-Hopped

Very bitter and fruity craft lager. Hoppy, destinctive, refreshing and the bitterness ticks my box. Well worth 7.5/10 on a hot evening.

Moon Rambler IPA

Light, citrusy and pale ale. Get the bitterness and the creaminess and there is a touch of a dry finish. 7/10.

Backwoods Bastard (2020)

Boozy and sweet strong ale. Can taste the bourbon which adds a pleasant backdrop. Hell of a beast at 11% and getting a thoroughly enjoyable 8/10.

Breakfast Stout (2020)

Smooth and well balanced stout but with a strong coffee finish. More gentle than some but with plenty of bitterness at the end. Getting an enjoyable 7.5/10.

Porter

Rich, sweet and dark porter. Nice depth with a gentle burnt malt flavour as well. A properly good example. 8.5/10.

All Day IPA

Can't believe it's taken me this long to check this beer in. Refreshing, hoppy, touch of fruit and a bitter finish. Cracker of a beer and at 4.7% my kind of session ale. 8/10.

Christian Bale Ale

Plenty of hop flavour in this dry ale. Citrus hints and well balanced throughout. 7.5/10.

Marvelroast (2020)

Big milk chocolate and vanilla flavours in this surprisingly strong golden ale. Different and enjoyable and got to be worth 7.5/10. Beer Hawk AC20 23.

Side Hustle

Citrusy and well flavoured modern session IPA. Juicy with plenty of hop and a slightly dry and bitter finish. Well worth a pleasant 7.5/10. Beer Hawk AC20 07.

Ich Bin Raspberry

Sharp and sour raspberry wheat beer. 5.5/10.

Blow Out

Very lively and hoppy modern IPA. Smooth and fruity with a strong orange flavour. A good strength and so well worth 7.5/10.

Do Stuff Together

Very juicy pale with some nice hop, loads of citrus and with a dry finish. A lighter flavour but refreshing for it. A nice combination and I like it. Getting a big 7.5/10.
