#5 would be fought out by Guinness Stout in the Winter, any hefeweizen in the summer (or a Sam Adams Summer Ale), and Sierra Pale Ale if none of the above are available.

It's actually a defect in the brewing process. Most real ales go rather banana-y if they're kept wrong.

Are you sure that's right? It says on their website the flavour comes from fair-trade bananas.

Superb strong bitter with a complex palate,
consisting of a delicate aroma of hops delightfully
balanced by a prominent malty character.
5 times 'Premium Beer of the Year' at
CAMRA's Great British Beer Festival.

Gold Medalâ€”World Beer Championships

The beer that made Masham
famous â€“ rich, dark and smooth-
tasting, with a character all its
own. Brewed using the traditional
Fuggle hop, Old Peculier is our
best known beer and has a large
and enthusiastic following all over
Britain and around the world.

I probably stand corrected then.

Batemans XXXB is a very good 'un. Long time since I've had it mind.

just to sully your nice beer thread i noticed sainsburys value lager the other day, lurking on the bottom shelf... 88p for a 4 pack

oh yes

(i bought some nice organic cider instead... damn, if i'd had my wits about me i could have made snakebite)

Dark ale: normally Hobgoblin, but MÃ¤rkische Landmann is lovely if you can get hold of any. The banana one is nice, Waggledance is kinda boring though. Shropshire Lad is nice

Pale ale: Leffe's not bad. Failing that I don't really drink it
