Keg at Dosa Darlings, Oxford after seeing a short acoustic set by Dea Matrona at the Truck Store. Hazy pale gold with a thin white head. Pleasing hit of mango, orange and pineapple up front with a soft mouthfeel and a good crisp finish. It's let down by some strong rose notes in the aftertaste that made me think a little of old ladies' hand cream, but that aside it's a decent brew and I enjoyed it.

Gravedigger's Biscuits from Turning Point Brew Co.

8/10 — Appearance 9 Aroma 8.5 Flavor 8 Texture 7 Overall 7.5

Can from Asda, Wycombe at 8.4%. Black with a dark brown tinge and a lasting tan head. Big boozy sweet black coffee (Tia Maria?) and dark chocolate throughout. A touch of raisin and vanilla lurks in the background. It's rich and sticky in the mouth - it feels very indulgent, and they've got the espresso martini thing bang on. The only let down was a touch of astringency in the moderately bitter (but still sticky) aftertaste; otherwise this was top notch and highly enjoyable. Can't believe this was just two quid in an Asda multi-buy!

Beirut Beer from Kassatly Chtaura

3/10 — Appearance 5 Aroma 3 Flavor 2.5 Texture 3 Overall 2.5

Bottle at Arnabeet Syrian restaurant at Seven Dials streetfood market. The Syrian food served here was delicious; I'd highly recommend it. Sadly this beer wasn't up to the quality of the food. It's your standard dull gold-coloured industrial world lager; sweetish, grainy, lots of cardboard and a touch of very old lemon. About the kindest thing I can say if it is that I've had worse beers.

Outcast Nova from Northern Monk Brew Co.

7.6/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 8 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

Can from Asda, Wycombe. Hazy blonde with a white head & middling fizz. Nice pillowy soft mouthfeel. Juicy tropical fruits, a touch of lemon, with some herbs and a bit of porridge (and I do love porridge!). The flavours aren't too in your face; it's a very well balanced brew. Doesn't taste it's strength and is dangerously drinkable for a double IPA. Very enjoyable; Northern Monk are still pretty good when they're not farting around with stupid flavours.

Pickwick Biscuit from Pickwick Brewery

2.3/10 — Appearance 5 Aroma 1 Flavor 2 Texture 4 Overall 1.5

Can from Brewer's own stall at the Taste of Corsham food festival. Pale, lightly hazed amber with a white head. Sharp and sour in both the aroma and taste - clearly and definitely infected (other people online have had infected brews before too, so this is clearly not a one-off). Behind the infection there's a rustic, traditional bitter I think - cereal, twiggy bitterness, maybe a bit of lemon. But it was hard to tell, and I couldn't finish it due to the off notes. I don't like slagging off start up micros, but this brewer needs to take a lot more care over sterilising his equipment before brewing for the public. Although, based of the varied spelling of "biscuit" across the website and merchandise, clearly taking care is not top of his priority list.
