    Arundle Sussex IPA 4.5%, the brewery write up calls it a traditional pale ale, well it's brown and malty and not to my mind anywhere near an IPA, a perfectly drinkable,though unremarkable brown bitter if you're into that sort of thing, I'm not, so for the purpose of this thread I nominate it as bad.

    Hooray!! They used to do something called Old Knucker that I used to rate as a strong winter ale cum porter but I can't recall having a decent pint from them for donkey's years.

    One for the good (and I wouldn't object to promotion) Bristol Beer Factory Southville Hop IPA (6.5%). A classic at £3.40 in the Wolverhampton Great Western.

    Another one pretending to be what it clearly isn't, Brentwood IPA 3.7%, the breweries description here states its a lightly hopped pale session bitter. It's not a bloody IPA,and didn't in any way resemble one, so it's got to be bad with regards to this thread.

    Two London ones for the good,
    Hackney New Zealand IPA 5.8%
    Wild Card Black IPA 6.0%

    The Wild Card beer is one of their new Joker range of occasional and seasonal brews. It was good but I thought it lacked hop aroma. That may just be down to the current shortage of hops, I haven't seen Brodie's Citra for ages. It had a white / cream head rather than brown and was certainly not sweet for the ABV. The NZ IPA was what it said it was. Both tried at the Wild Card Easter festival.
