Steve		23 May 2007	Getting near the bottom of the barrel slightly cloudy and a bit sharp
Ian	Not Tried	20 May 2007
Ian		19 Apr 2007	I agree with Steve, having a thick creamy head on a Kent beer is silly. Simple drinkable bitter. Not as good as the Tanglefoot so only a 3/5
Steve		18 Apr 2007	one small thing spoilt this pint was it being served with a very tight sparkler took ages to get the pint poured the bar staff struggled with it I mentioned about taking the sparkler off but he said it's company policy to keep it on OK for Northern beers but a beer brewed in Kent!! still the beer was in excellent condition made easier to drink by the way it was served
