Lagunitas – IPA

A real staple you hear about everywhere, Ive never gotten round to trying it until now and its really good. Golden coloured, fresh, hoppy and sweet fruity combination, a really nice all round beer.

Sampled from: Bottle

ABV – 6.2%

Would I recommend? Yes

Would I buy again? Yes

Rating: 4/5

Coors – Blue Moon

This has to be the single most overrated and ultimately crap beer I have ever tasted. I know what its supposed to taste like, a belgian wheatbeer, but somehow it just tastes like slightly fizzy over-diluted orange squash. Its gassy, has a mildly cirtussy flavour and is served with a slice of orange in it?! A proper tarts drink. . . I just dont see the point in it, but. . . I have a lot of hipster type mates that love it, so they must be doing something right I suppose, or. . . my mates are just sheep!

Sampled from: Tap

ABV – 5.4%

Would I recommend? No

Would I buy again? No

Rating: 2/5

Brewdog – Jet Black Heart (Nitro)

Wow, this is absolutely the smoothest beer I have ever tried at home, it is like pure silk in a glass. I know this is predominantly down to the nitrogen, but honestly its mind blowing.

The beer itself, I have tried once before from a bottle and it was relatively unremarkable. Somehow it just tastes incredible. Honestly, its one of the best I have had. Ridiculously smooth, sweet, chocolatey, vanilla comes through, just a perfect pint!

Sampled from: Can

Country of Origin: USA

ABV – 6%

Would I recommend? Absofrickenlutely

Would I buy again? Without a shadow of a doubt

Rating: 5/5

Evil Twin Brewing – Wake up and Smell the Gose

Wow, what an interesting one, so I had to look up what a “gose” is. . . its a Geraman, traditional whitebeer, generally quite sour, and claims to be one of the oldest styles of beer ever produced.

As for this example. . . The first thing that hits you is a super-sweet caramel sort of smell. . . but thats where it ends!

Its quite fruity, and you can taste a saltiness to it, but more than anything it is quite sour.

Honestly, Ive never tasted anything like it and it definately wasnt awful, therefore I am going to have to geive it a solid 3/5!

Sampled from: Can

Country of Origin: USA

ABV – 6.5%

Would I recommend? Yes, definately worth a try

Would I buy again? Yes, for something different

Rating: 3/5
