4BEERS: L

LANCASTER

Duchy (3.9%)

LEATHERBRITCHES

Hairy Helmet (4.7%): A pale bitter, well hopped, but with a sweet finish.

JW LEES

Brewer's Dark (3.5%): Previously badged as GB Mild, this is a smooth, easy-drinking beer with liquorice and chocolate notes and a malty aftertaste. (20-02-08)
John Willie's (4.5%): named after the brewery's founder, this is a premium, light coloured bitter with a nutty finish from Northdown and Golding hops and pale ale malt. (20-02-08)
Scorcher (4.2%): A fruity aroma and refreshing hop finish. (20-02-08)

LEFFE

Blonde (6.6%): A revelation to me in 2004. Brilliant hop flavour, zesty fruit too, slightly sweeter on the finish. (DN)

LITTLE CREATURES

Little Creatures Pale Ale (5.2%): I've had this in the fridge for a couple of weeks — you probably don't have to leave it there that long, indeed it will take an enormous amount of willpower for me to leave one there again. This is a cracking beer, a refreshing, zesty, citrussy beer that delivers a good bitter hop hit, with just a hint of honeycomb sweetness. 5.2%? Hmm — much too drinkable. (DN)

LITTLE VALLEY

Cragg Vale Bitter (4.2%), Hebden's Wheat (4.5%), Moor Ale (5.5%), Stoodley Stout (4.8%), Tod's Blonde (5%), Withens IPA (3.9%)

LIZARD ALES

An Gof (5.2%): A strong malty, end-of-session beer. Some fruit flavour pushes its way through the maltiness. (DN: 10-06-07)
Frenchman's Creek (4.6%): Made in a traditional India Pale Ale style with well-rounded flavour.
Helford River (3.6%): A great and very popular session beer, excellently balanced with nice malt notes but equally strong hop flavours.
Kernow Gold (3.7%), Lizard Bitter (4.2%)
