---|---|---|
6X | ★★★★☆ | This is what you’re thinking of when you think of beer |
Abbot Ale | ★★★☆☆ | Kinda generic ale but a bit off, like past its “best before” date |
Adnam’s Broadside | ★★★☆☆ | Yet another malty ale, only this one’s tangy!? |
Adnam’s Ghost Ship | ★★★★☆ | Kinda fruity, kinda ale-y, rather nice |
Bacchus (Rasberry) Beers | ★★★☆☆ | It’s not unpleasant, just different. It’s kinda hard to explain, and then by the end you realise, it reminds you of cherry coke. |
Bishops Fingers | ★★★★☆ | Kinda fruity and inoffensive |
Black Sheep | ★★★★☆ | Caramelly and malty |
The Blandford Fly | ★★★☆☆ | Kinday fruity and meaty eith a bit of spice. It actually tastes like a wheat beer to me |

Fuller’s 1845 | ★★★☆☆ | Pretty pretty pretty good |
Fuller’s ESB | ★★★★☆ | A yardstick for a classic ale |

Guinness Foreign Extra | ★★★★☆ | Like Guinness but fruity |
Guinness Original. | ★★★☆☆ | Like fizzy Marmite juice without the tang |

So variable. When it’s good it’s smooth and creamy, but when it’s bad it’s gassy and acrid |
Hobgoblin | ★★★★☆ | Creamy and rich/smooth |
Hobgoblin Gold | ★★☆☆☆/ ★★★★☆ |
Variable. One time far too lagery, the other not sure how to describe the taste but it was really nice |
Hogs Back TEA | ★★★☆☆ | Just a generic ale |
Hopping Hare | ★★★☆☆ | Hang on, that’s a lager |
IPA Gold | ★★★☆☆ | Like the most awesome ale, but with the “awesome” removed, leaving just the echo |
King Goblin | ★★★☆☆ | Fruity, nice but nothing special |
Newcastle Brown | ★★★☆☆ | Kinda bland ale |
Old Crafty Hen | ★★★☆☆ | Like Old Speckled Hen but with a hint of the wooden floor in an old monastery |

Old Speckled Hen | ★★★★☆ | It’s a classic |
Old Tom | ★★★☆☆ | Fruity and Malty, just a bit uninspiring |
Reinbacher Weissbier | ★★★☆☆ | Both flat and bubbly!? Tastes like Hoegaarden |
Ringwood Forty Niner | ★★★☆☆ | ’s alright. Kinda forgettable but pleasantly “ale” enough |
Shipyard IPA | ★★★☆☆ | Inoffensive… mostly harmless |
Spitfire | ★★★☆☆ | Clean and uninspiring, but an aftertaste of a perfect real ale |
Spitfire Gold | ★★★★☆ | Kinda classic, kinda uninspiring but kinda nice “bitter” |
Tangle Foot | ★★☆☆☆ | That’s a lager, not a beer |
Whitstable Bay | ★★☆☆☆ | Like an average lager shandy, only less so |
Wiper & True (milk stout) | ★★★★☆ | Definitely a milk stout, but a bit burnt |
