Sheffield Waterworks - Woodforde's West Coast Wherry 4.3%, an American-style red rye ale. Citrusy, hoppy with a dry finish.

The Benjamin Huntsman, Sheffield - Shepherd Neame Hop County 4.8%, a quite interesting golden ale with tropical fruit and caramel flavours. Strangely, quite nice.

The Benjamin Huntsman, Sheffield - Purity Bunny Hop 3.5%, a pale golden ale. Citrus, grapefruit, dry hops. Not really to my taste.

The Benjamin Huntsman, Sheffield - Oakham Heights of Oblivion 3.9%, to me, a bland golden hoppy session IPA. Many of this brewery's ales taste very similar to me.

The Benjamin Huntsman, Sheffield - Black Sheep Choc & Orange Stout 5.0%, not as expected, I was looking for something akin to Terry's Chocolate Orange but in truth it's just bland with little flavour.

The Friar Penketh, Warrington - Saltaire Amarillo 4.5%,straw coloured and described as a citrusy golden ale. Some orange but not overly citrusy. A malt, bitter and fruity finish. Not bad.

The Friar Penketh, Warrington - Big Shed Kol Schisel 4.2%, brewed by Australian brewer Craig Basford at Hook Norton brewery. A straw coloured Australian pale ale. Yeasty, malty and spicy with very subtle citrus notes. Quite nice and very drinkable.

The Looking Glass, Warrington - Greene King Heritage Ernest Hop Pale Ale 5.0%, as I find with a lot of GK ales, much of a muchness. A pale ale with a little fruit, some malt and hops but nothing exciting.

My last three pints of real ale have been shoite ...
Snecklifter in the Sun.... sour ... took it back.
Some Selby ale in the Ale house and deli.
Timothy Taylor in the Mallard in town ... I have seldom had a good pint of beer in there ... should stick to lager ... mind you once had a flat pint of Carling in there

Two of those I would never go in these days.

The Hedley Verity, Leeds - Hook Norton Crafty Fox 4.4%, dark brown rather than black (badged as a black IPA). Hints of coffee and roasted malts but not enough for my taste. Hoppy but the more you progress astringent! Not for me.

The Cuthbert Broderick, Leeds - Arundel Brewhouse Best Bitter 4.0%, a copper coloured best bitter. Malty with caramel and toffee notes. Exactly how a best bitter should be. Excellent!  |
