7/10

Yet another installment in the "Hazy Jane" saga. I wasn't holding out much hope for it, really but it turned out nicer than I expected. I can't say I noticed much difference in the taste, maybe a bit more fruitier but definitely a gimmick. I gave the original Hazy Jane an 8, but in hindsight (and having drunk more), it deserved a 7, which is what I'm awarding this one.

Not sure what Coronation Street had to do with this ale buy I like it. This was a real good old fashioned bitter you could imagine drinking in a country pub somewhere. Went lovely with the 8 hour slow cooked beef I had last Sunday.

I always struggle to write about these "middle of the road" session IPAs. Enough flavour to keep you drinking but nothing groundbreaking.

After riding high with the previous "lager from a real ale brewery", I had strong hopes for this, but was sorely disappointed. The taste of this reminded me of a classic lager - fizzy with not much taste. Managed to drink it but won't be having it again.

What an absolute banger of a lager! Very easy drinking with bags of flavour - would easily pick this over a lot of other beers in the supermarket.

New year, new beer. This was darker than I expected with a lovely full-bodied flavour. Will definitely be keeping my eye out for this again - it's a shame it was only a.small can!

The big 600. I entered 2021 with a mere 405 reviews under my belt and I think this is my biggest year yet. This clean, crisp ale had a nice flavour to it and certainly would be one I would drink again.

This pale ale had more of a taste than the last few I've had, but, was still a bit light for me.

A drinkable but uninspiring IPA from Kent. A bit better than the previous one, but not one I would buy again. For those counting, this is number 599! The big is 600 next 😁

A plain pale ale which was lacking any kind of flavour. It wasn't "bad", just didn't really taste of much. It's a shame, as I had high hopes for this one
