Admiral’s Ale
by St Austell Brewery, £2.70
A fruity refreshing taste which isn’t afraid of being fully-flavoured. Might be too strong for some. Ruined by infantile art.
Ola Dubh
by Harviestoun Brewery, £5.10
A maturing process in whiskey barrels has produced a mix of yeasty, treacle and marmite flavours. Unusual, but not worth the price.
Ruby Red Ale
St Peter’s Brewery, £2.70
The palest bitter ever. Characteristic of a confused beer. A too sweet initial flavour with a sharp aftertaste. A little underwhelming.
Stocking Filler
by York Brewery, £2.25
A smokey, woody, chocolatey flavour with an intense aftertaste. Too fizzy for a balanced ale. But very tacky packaging will put most off.
Hellfire
by Leeds Brewery, £1.65
A confused bitter. A too sweet initial flavour with a sharp aftertaste. The bottle loojks more like reggae reggae sauceFrankly disappointing.
Rapture
by Magic Rock Brewing, £2.55
Although this has a pleasant hoppy taste this flavour simply overpowers everything else. On the whole a rather offputting tasting experience.
