Beach Chalet Brewery San Francisco, California

Keg at Beach Chalet Brewery, San Francisco, CA on 24/08/2008. Started with this beer, and rather liked it. Probably was a good one to begin on. Fairly subtle, and quite malty, with a slight perfumed hop nose.

Church Hanbrewery New Yatt, Oxfordshire

Draught at The Teardrop Barzinho, Oxford. Very dark brown with cream head. There are sweet, milky flavours from the off, rich malts then toffee, caramel notes. Not getting the salted bit, maybe it's just enhancing the other flavours. Full on the palate. Very pleasant.

Hideji Beer Brewery Nobeoka, Japan

Citrusy aroma. Cloudy orange appearance. Light bitter, citrusy flavor. Good and citrusy, lots of yuzu.

Church Hanbrewery New Yatt, Oxfordshire

Draught at The Teardrop Barzinho, Oxford. Clouded amber with white head. The ginger is fairly light and restrained in this, biscuity with a refreshing sourness. Some lactic acid notes, quite buttery in a way. Pleasant interesting beer.

Heineken Ireland Cork, Ireland

Aroma : Roasted dark malts, subtle notes of chocolate and coffee & a peaty earthiness. Taste : As aroma. Smooth & gently bitter earthy all the way through. It has a little more chocolate than "Guinness Original" whilst being a touch thinner. As with most traditional dry stouts it's straightforward & simple. Decent beer!

Cycle Brewing Saint Petersburg, Florida

Bottle from the Tavez. Dark chestnut with a small tan head. Aroma is mapley AF, bourbon, toffee. Flavor is insanely sweet maple-covered brown sugared waffle with bourbon glaze. Full AF, cloying AF, AF AF. Why does a beer need to be this sweet and syrupy? I don't know, but I do know that a beer like this has to come from Florida. This is going too far, guys. It's tasty, but good luck drinking more than 2 ounces of this. Luckily for a ticker, #2ouncesisallyouneed.

XT Brewing Long Crendon, Buckinghamshire

Cask conditioned at The Lamb & Flag, Oxford. Gold with white head. There is a sweet maltiness to this, quite bready then touches of gooseberry, lychee. Fruity throughout. It's okay.

Siren Craft Brew Finchampstead, Berkshire

Draught at The White Rabbit, Oxford. Clouded chestnut with cream head. Rich, fruity, biscuity beer, malty notes from the start, ovaltine hints with background sweetness. Quite smooth throughout. It's fine.

Siren Craft Brew Finchampstead, Berkshire

Draught at The White Rabbit, Oxford. Clouded gold with white head. Sweet and sour grapefruit flavours mixed together, sharp and fruity. Quite heavy on the palate, sweaty citrus notes. Lightens towards the end. It's fine.

Ishikawa Brewery Tokyo, Japan

Not much aroma at all. Bitter taste with no sweetness to balance it out. Weak bodied. Grainy, but also bready? Another failed session IPA, it‘s right out unpleasant.

Loddon Brewery Dunsden, Oxfordshire

Draught at The White Rabbit, Oxford. Clouded reddish brown with cream head. Cereal, bready flavours from the off, grainy, quite earthy mostly, but also some berried fruitiness. Easy on the palate. It's fine.

Beatnikz Republic Brewing Co. Manchester, Greater Manchester

Draught at The Grapes, Oxford. Clouded red amber with off white head. Girded my loins for a bashing of sourness but it turned out to be quite subdued on that front, some earthy fruitiness, some acidic notes. A fruit bowl of berries perhaps. A bit of a disappointment.

Horus Aged Ales Oceanside, California

22oz (thx, Rudy M.!) at Sales Force. Appearance: almost black, pours like an oil with no head. Aroma: coconut bomb! Taste: super sick coconut bomb. Overall: COCONUT BOMB.

White Horse Brewery (Titanic) Faringdon, Oxfordshire

Cask conditioned at The Grapes, Oxford. Hazy red brown with cream head. This proved to be a heavily caramelised beer, dry and quite bitter. Little else emerged through the caramel for me, maybe a little fruitiness perhaps. Not great.

Chadlington Brewery Chadlington, Oxfordshire

Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons. Gold with white head. There is a slightly tart fruitiness to this, orange, tangerine hints along with boiled cereal notes. Fairly basic otherwise. It's okay.
