Jack William		18 Feb 2015	Bright and lively with a good hoppy bite - that's better than the Torpedo tonight.
Jack William		21 Dec 2014	I did not try this - but two separate drinkers brought back pints to be changed - very cloudy - and barrel was then changed. Disappointing that in this haven of good ale two pints could have been served up without the bar staff noticing.

Jack William		07 Jan 2015	I've had this in both the Foundry, where it is brewed, and the City Arms Canterbury, the sister pub and liked it - but this was superb and superior straight from the cask.
