Prancing Pony Brewery: Humbled by the accolade, glad you enjoyed it!
James G. is drinking a Single Fin Summer Ale by Gage Roads Brewing Co
Gluh. For me, one of the beers that will come back to me as being a disappointing brew. Only reason to drink this is if you need a light ale, and nothing else really. Hop taste doesn't gel well with me, and doesn't have much else for me. AC20

James G. is drinking The Zeppelin by Prancing Pony Brewery at Club Rivers - Malt Barrel
Absolutely love the idea of an neipa that is completely hop driven, rather than having excess fruit added. Considering that I am slightly allergic to orange, having this clean beer is really quite a treat! Smooth and tropical!

James G. is drinking a Raspberry Berliner Weisse by Wayward Brewing
Berry flavour mixed with traditional sourness. In terms of sour beers, up there with the pineapple hope. Not too bombastic which is a plus.

James G. is drinking an ESB by Hargreaves Hill
Cracking good bitter! Tastes like a classical beer, with lovely chocolate malt taste that finishes with a fairly strong bitter aftertaste. Not a complex beer, but a strong bitter ale! AC19

James G. is drinking a Flash Flood by Left Handed Giant Brewing at Bucket Boys
Really nice IPA, rich with perfect amount of citrus, hops, malt coming together to form a cracking good drop.

James G. is drinking a Campos Milk Stout by Batch Brewing Company at Uncle Hops at The Bank Hotel
Might be biased because I love Campos, but damn this one is a good sweet stout. Tastes like premium coffee, that's for sure!

James G. is drinking a KAIJU! Hopped Out Red by KAIJU! Beer
Very nice, however that hop flavour is something that I kinda don't prefer compared to other red ales. Maybe it might be your thing, buts it's not entirely mine!
James G. is drinking The Surprize Summer Ale by John Boston
Ah. Now see, the problem is that this one is lighter than the James squires, with a larger unpleasant taste afterwards. In terms of taste, would give this one a miss I think.

James G. is drinking a James Squire The Chancer by Malt Shovel Brewery
Smooth malty flavour, with a smidge of aftertaste that will make it from scoring higher. Nothing special, but not poison

James G. is drinking a Captain Sensible by Balter Brewing Company
In terms of low strength beer, this is quite possibly my favourite still, as it has a strong citrus with a touch of malt.

James G. is drinking a Modus Pale Ale by Modus Operandi Brewing Co.
Late beer from yesterday. Pretty solid pale ale that is an easy drinker.

Finally, I've had one of each of balters core range! To be honest, definitely weakest of the whole lot. Clean, malty taste combined with hop aftertaste that detracts from the experience. Not for me sadlty
