THIS JOURNEY IS NOW COMPLETE! This was a challenge I undertook from Feb 2011 to Feb 2012. Thanks to everyone that kept me going! Feel free to read through and comment, I am now also periodically adding reviews here as I sample other beers that I did not come across during the challenge.

Cricketers Arms Lager
This whole challenge is really turning me into a beer snob. I'll readily admit it. Small things that used to not be a big deal, now suddenly are.
One is carbonation. Forced carbonation rather than natural carbonation can straight ruin a beer. It's like those cheapo soft drinks that burn your tongue with their crude carbonation. The same thing applies to beers.
This is actually a decent lager, it's better than a mainstream brew. But it doesn't have much of a head and has stinging bubbles. It definitely costs it some points in my book.
Flavour wise, this lager is quite interesting as it has some lighter flavours mixed in with the malts and is quite smooth... till the zing comes in.
Decent effort, but could've been so much better.
5.5/10
