Description
We create everything from one-off experimental beers to a solid range of our favourite styles. There’s also a fair amount of dinosaurs (naturally) and retro video game references involved. We’re often at our Sneinton taproom, at various beer festivals, and obviously down the pub, so come and say Hi! Thank you for being on this journey with us and we hope you enjoy our beer as much as we enjoy making it!

Can from Asda, High Wycombe. Gold with the faintest of haze, a white head and an obvious fizz. Too much fizz, frankly. Pineapple juice, a touch of papaya and lime and some cardboard. Odd hints of weetabix and coriander seed in the finish, almost like a bit of Belgian witbier has been stirred in. All the flavours are muted and dull - there's no juiciness, vibrancy, assertiveness or bitterness here. I'm not sure what it's trying to achieve here, or how the beer bears any relevance to its name. I'd have thought an aggressive west coast TIPA might be the right brew to commemorate Arnie's 1980s robotic killing machine, not this dull effort. Overall it gets a meh from me. Unlike it's namesake, if I'm offered more of this I won't be back.

Hazy pale golden colour with a white head. Some sweet juicy and tangy fruity. Nice depth and a full smooth body.

Can. Near clear paleish gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, smooth and light, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft light pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Juicy hop fruits on a soft pine backdrop. Soft orange, tangerine and mandarin, touch of pineapple on the back end. Yeah a little sweet mango and papaya. Light finish. A light and fruity dipa, pretty soft as well. A little off the beaten track.
