The Beers I tried at Warrington Oktoberfest 17

Beer Name Obscure Brewery Name Tatton

As I took my first sip of Obscure, the Beautiful South's "Rotterdam" started blurring out around Warrington's Parr Hall.  As with the saying "Liverpool or Rome", I just struggled to make my mind up on this one.  I did get more than the usual half pint served which my beer token entitles me to.  Ultimately I would say it was nearly there.  Score 8/10.


Beer Name Bamboozle Brewery Name Lodden

Well if as the name suggests, the aim is to con the customer into thinking this is a quality ale, then I was certainly taken in.  To be fair though, I have tasted worse.  But this ale had what I would perceive to be a sawdust taste around the side.  Score 7/10.


Beer Name Longdendale Lights Brewery Name Howard Town

Refreshingly delightful.  This Pale beer hit all the buttons for me.  Score 10/10.


Beer Name Plum Porter Brewery Name Titanic

Not bad for a dark beer.  Score 8/10.


Beer Name Full Whack Brewery Name Peerless

As a Merseysider, I just had to try this one.  But at best it reminded me of a Cains Raisin Beer, which was nothing to write home about.  I was very disappointed with this one.  It scores only 5/10 for me.  Had it been a Manc Beer, it would have scored 4!  Score 5/10.


Beer Name Wizerwoo Brewery Name Thomas Hardy

To me this tasted a bit more like a Holsten Pills than a Real Ale.  Score 6/10.


Beer Name Lymm Bitter Brewery Name Lymm Brewery

A nice hoppy bitter taste.  Score 9/10.


Beer Name Farmhouse Ale Brewery Name Spitting Feathers


This beer is described as a nice balanced flavour.  Well to me it was more like forming a coalition Government, in the sense that I was getting a good taste and then a not so good taste.  Score 6/10.


Beer Name Centurion's Ghost Brewery Name York

I can only describe this speciman as a sadistic Stout.  Then again if you have not already guessed it, I have to confess that I don't normally go for the dark ales.  Score 4/10.


Beer Name Orkney Blast Brewery Name Highland

My first impression was that this impressive ale is a lot calmer than a harsh wind blast that is typical of life on the Orkney Islands.  Not quite the Ale of my dreams though.  Score 8/10.
