Brew Wharf - Top To Bottom 69 Hop Ale5.40GoodBrewed in collaboration with Sharp's, this has 69 different hops in it. Difficult to work out what they all are but the flavour is certainly hoppy, but not overpoweringly so. A good malt balance ensures a good, clean finish. My score 15/20.

Brew Wharf - Beehive Honey Ale3.90GoodAmber beer with good hop character with citrus and honey notes. Bitter finish. My score 15/20.

Brew Wharf - New Zealand Pale4.90ExcellentPale and very hoppy, brewed with New Zealand grown Cascade hops plus another native hop. Big hop flavour with some dry citrus notes and a little malt in the background. My score 16/20.

Brew Wharf - 1 Hundred6.30AcceptableStrong red IPA style with lots of bitter hoppiness but not much malt balance. Dry, hoppy finish. My score 13/20.

Brew Wharf - How Now Brown Cow3.10ExcellentBlack stout absolutely packed full of flavour for its strength. Chocolate and vanilla most prominent but little hoppiness. My score 16/20.
Brew Wharf - Noel Spiced Ale3.60AcceptableRed/brown spiced ale, rather thin with hints of ginger and other spices which drown out any other flavours. My score 13/20.

BeerABVScoreNotes
Brew Wharf - Noel Spiced Ale3.60GoodDeep red thin beige head. Spice aroma. Spiced ale with enough malt and orange peel to carry it off. Never a big fan of spiced beers but this was really well made and balanced. Very decent 737313

BeerABVScoreNotes
Brew Wharf - Autumn Harvest5.10ExcellentHow to do a malty autumn ale properly, excellent full bodied, smooth malty flavours and a little hoppiness to finish. My score 16/20.
Brew Wharf - Hop 'Em High5.90GoodCertainly did, very hoppy, with citrus hop flavours dominating. Not much malt balance, but a full citrus hop flavour. My score 15/20.

BeerABVScoreNotes
Brew Wharf - Monster Mash5.10PoorHallowe'en special that was certainly a trick for me. Too much spice in this which drowned out any other flavours that were struggling for attention. My score 11/20.

BeerABVScoreNotes
Brew Wharf - Indian Wheat Ale5.10AcceptableA good example of a cloudy wheat beer but just a little sourness for my taste. My score 13/20.
19 Oct 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
BeerABVScoreNotes
Brew Wharf - Brown Chicken Brown Cow5.20GoodAn American style brown ale with strong toffee malt character and some hoppiness. Full bodied and smooth tasting. My score 15/20.
