Tribute Extra Strong: 6.0 – That is one of the easiest pale ales to drink that I have ever had on my life. It’s light and airy but the taste is still lingering at least to not make this just water.
Price Average: Tribute Extra Strong $4

Hey folks – so since it’s the summer – one would expect we’d take some time off, and maybe have a few less posts. Nope. Instead every Sunday we’ll have some destination beers (from what’s left of the UK at this point), and finally we’ll have a Beer Camp special. Happy Summer folks, have a beer.
Meantime London Lager: 3.0 – This is just a no good beer. It taste just reminds me of beers from our Poster Challenge. (I know kind of a downer to start with, but hey if the beer is no good – it’s no good)
Price Average: Name $4

I bought this gin because there was a skeleton key on it, and based on it’s shape and little booklet I figured it would be a good martini gin. In that respect it is partially true, but alas the tale of this gin is summed up perfectly by the same key on it’s front. (not a real key, flat backing with glue on the back and low-grade material)
Fuller’s London Pride: 5.0 – Take note I did have this at a normal cool temperature not a slightly warm UK temp this is because I’ve had both and let’s just say that I try to be objective and not actively seek out ways to make beers lose points. This when chilled is a proper average beer.
Price $4

Trooper 666: 6.0 – This is most certainly a british-style beer, and it is uniquely tasty. However while this might be British-style, and the odd metal/Iron Maiden is cool, but I would never serve this warm.

St. Peter’s: 3.0 – I know this will sound cliche, but this tastes like it’s organic. It’s not bitter, but it tastes like how weed smells, add that to the bottle shape and this is hipster-king.
Google Shop Average: St. Peter’s $5

Here at week 2 of gin reviews and we are know in a gin that comes to us from England, that was then shipped to Iceland, and has been described as being made similar to a Scottish single malt – because why not. However while last week we had a good martini gin, this is simply mediocre and overpriced to compensate.
Doom Bar: 3.5 – Sadly for a beer named doom this merely a sigh. It’s certainly not a standard hoppy beer but it’s muted and has a terrible taste. You can do a bitter beer where it’s not just awful, but they have not.
Google Shop Average: Doom Bar $7.50 (5 sterling)
