Sour cherry, with some saltiness. A bit muted but goes quite well with yet more scones (we have clotted cream that needs eating; what can you do?).

Looks so much like a juicy breakfast smoothie that surely it must be good for us. Thick, tangy, tart, salty, slightly sweet.

The antidote to too much richness: dark bitter chocolate with berry notes and a slight smokiness. Needs savouring, but luckily we have some more. Six labels pictured before being distributed very locally; currently drinking the fourth from the left...

Oh. Yes, that's a pastry stout. Or a cake stout. Or really a chocolate mousse stout full of smooth nutty banana richness. Would be 4.5 if banana flavours in beer didn't make me dither, good though this is overall.

Mmmm, porter. Smoky chocolatiness with some bitter coffee notes, but also some sherbety hoppiness. I've had chocolate coins but not previously chocolate bank notes.

I went truffling in the forest of knowledge and found Mosaic, so that's a win.

Verdanty, with southern hemisphere hops. Strewth.

Lovely, lovely gose with lime (lime! Lime sour!) and tropical fruit. So glad that Neon Raptor rebrewed this and that I was able to have it again.

Verdanty! Bitter, dank, fruity pale. Might be scoring meanly, but it's early yet.

Apparently today's lunchtime soup (squash and chipotle) requires most of a can of cider. Having tasted the remainder, I'd happily drink more some time - so noting that here.

This beer can be my friend. One of my friends that gets drunk.

Blueberry, orange, and coffee notes. Could be weird, but I'm up for the experiment of adding coffee to most things.

Purchased at RAD Beer

Rather good raspberry sour with just the right amount of tonka not to be weird.

Good sour cherry beer is a lovely thing, and this is good sour cherry beer. Goes well, of course, with spare sultana scones with black cherry jam and clotted cream.

Tart citrusy herbal alcoholic cranberry juice? Don't mind if I do.

Purchased at RAD Beer

Tart and sherbety, then fruity sweetness, finishing with hoppy bitterness. I prefer these changes to many we've been experiencing recently.

Purchased at RAD Beer

I'm not sure I've had a pear sour before. I'm in favour. Goes surprisingly well with spare cheese scones.

Purchased at RAD Beer

Fruity and sweetish with all sorts of hoppy resonance; absolutely doesn't taste as strong as it is, but you can doubtless tell...

Purchased at HonestBrew

Big thick piney sweetish thing, doing the Citra/Mosaic shuffle.
