AllGates - Hic Bibi (was called Citra Single Hop)4.20ExcellentExcellent example of this citrussy hop showcased in a very pale beer with good malt balance. Lingering fruity, citrus aftertaste. My score 17/20.

Abbeydale - Beer Works Dr Morton's Waitlifter3.90GoodVery pale and hoppy with citrus hop notes to the fore. Some fruity sweetness in the finish. My score 15/20.
Copthorne - Classic3.80GoodSweetish and well balanced bitter, sweetness coming from honey I suspect. Moderate hoppiness and a little malt for balance. My score 15/20.
Great Heck - Allan4.50GoodVery hoppy pale bitter with a very strong citrus flavour, suggesting use of Citra hops. Dryish, citrus fruit finish. My score 15/20.
Silver Brewhouse (formerly Raw) - Maximus Debate5.00AcceptableStrong dark brown bitter with hop bitterness but not much maltiness. Dry, bitter finish. My score 14/20.

Exit 33 (formerly The Brew Company then Sky's Edge) - Dry Hop #18 (Bravo, Chinook & Citra)4.00AcceptableVery pale but slightly hazy due to the sheer amount of hops in this! Just a little extreme for my taste, but hopheads will love it. My score 14/20.
