RICARDO NO 6 BLACK ROCK GOLDEN ALE 1.7KG 30/04/2014

" I thought I would try a golden ale next as they tend to be my first choice in the pub . I loved the colour of this ale but it was lacking in taste . It did improve over time and was refreshing to drink . I also preferred it cold which hasn't been the case for the other ales . Score 6 out of 10 . Brew again probably not "

RICARDO NO 3 BRUPAKS PRIDE OF YORKSHIRE SPECIAL LAGER 3KG 19/2/2014

"This was my 3rd brew and I have to admit I was getting a little bored of the first 2 . I decided to splash out a bit more money and buy a 3kg pack . This just means you get 2 tins of the malt but pay about double the price  . With having the extra malt you do not need to use any sugar, apart from the priming sugar at the bottling stage . I think I have been making the mistake of drinking my brews too soon . My first opinion of this brew was ok but not my favorite due to the strong flavor. A much later tasting was a strong LIKE IT , would make again , hoppy but nice, serve chilled . score after leaving for 6 weeks 7.5 out of ten . Brew again may be "

This was my very first brew, I apologize for the confusing background shot of a beer barrel and C02 cartridges I didn't have these till Ricardo N0 9 , all the beer has been drunk so I can't retake the photo . Things will get better I promise . My first 3 brews were Lagers as I tend to drink Lager at home so I decided to give it a go first . I will review each one in turn .

"This was my very first brew and I was pleasantly surprised . It was a very refreshing lager which was very drinkable . I preferred it chilled. Score 6.5 out of 10  Brew again  no "
