Looking forward to baron rating Sainsbury's Great British Beer Hunt 2011 ales

As I said earlier, it's been a very good week for the baron, as not only did Williams Brothers send their entries to the Sainsbury's Great British Beer Hunt 2011 but also Sainsbury's PR also send a few bottles through:

•  McMullen Stronghart - 7% bitter, "liquid Christmas pudding"
• Ridgeway Bad King John - 6% very English black ale
• Sadler's Worcester Sorcerer - 4.3% golden English bitter,crisp grassy aromas with warm toffee apple fruitiness & gentle bitter finish

Look out for 'baron ratings' for these Sainsbury's beers soon, and a big thank you to @SainsburysPR for sending these through to me!
