Bitter Beer reviews:

Hexagon Project 08 by Salt Beer Factory negative

Rated on 2021-09-18 by BeerDorkNik at Londis Penny Lane, Liverpool

Quality: 56, Enjoyability: 63, Overall: 59.5

Opaque deep gold. Good head on pour, with very little retention and no lacing. More like a decent Biter than an 8% DIPA, hops, hint of fruitiness, good body.

Dr. Johnson by Leatherbritches Brewery neutral

Quality: 58, Enjoyability: 49, Overall: 53.5

Deep amber, with some head as poured. Malty basic Bitter, bit toast-like (as in, toasted bread, not toasted malt).

George Shaw & Co. India Pale Ale by 4Ts neutral

Rated on 2023-12-02 by BeerDorkNik at Bent's Warrington

Quality: 45, Enjoyability: 54, Overall: 49.5

Hazy amber. Some head on pour, with little surface scum retention but OK to good lacing. Slightly hoppy Bitter, more than an IPA. Most disappointing of this line? However, was very cold, so maybe I'm judging it unfairly.
