3/10

A sickly sweet, thick stout which, except the first sip, I can't say I enjoyed that much. The first taste was a novelty and gave me false hope for things to come. I finished it, but mainly out of respect for my wife who bought it for me. Talking of which - she was so repulsed by the smell on my breath, she left the room.

A "lager IPA hybrid". Tastes exactly how you would expect. The worst of both worlds. Not much flavour so not very offensive. Maybe palatable on a hot summers day?

A surprisingly enjoyable porter from this brewery. I wasn't holding out much hope, but this was light bodied yet still had the coffee undertones you'd expect from this style. A perfect Introductory beer. I wouldn't buy it again, but would recommend to someone who only drinks light beers and wants to broaden their horizons

A smooth, easy-drinkin' juicy DIPA.

Another smasher of a beer from @gipsyhillbrew. After the last debacle with the TIPA, I was careful not to pour out the whole beer to avoid any sediment. Fruity in smell and taste, an excellent long evening tipple. One of the last of my birthday cans

A bit of a forgettable DIPA really. It was nice, but certainly nothing I would write home about (I appreciate the irony in that, becuase my wife reads these reviews, I am in fact, writing home about it). Can't really comment on the beer as the moment I finished it I forgot anything about it.

I can't say I've had an "imperial India Pale Ale" before, but it seemed to have all the characteristics of a DIPA. Very pleasant indeed.

A light, simple IPA. Perfect as a desk beer (a colleague picked up a case of these) and one I could drink of an evening, but not the most complex in flavours.

9.5/10

This is the kind of beer dreams are made of. Smooth, fruity and so very easy to drink. You forget that this tasty TIPA is packing a 10% punch - something you only get hit with when you try and do something. This beer from @deyabrewery scores a near-perfect 10. Everything ticks the box except session-ability. As easy as it would be to sit and drink this all night, I'm not sure any of my internal organs could handle it.

Just a standard, mass-produced, flat flavoured IPA. Not disgusting, but not distinctive
