McGargle		13 Dec 2018	As I have come to expect🤐
McGargle		15 Mar 2017	New lines and fonts. Same tired beer.
McGargle		09 Jun 2016	Good beer spoiled by the serve. Warm and flabby.
McGargle		21 Mar 2015	Surprised how quickly this has 'settled'.
McGargle		20 Mar 2015	Crisp and very refreshing.
McGargle		27 Feb 2014	Tired. On the way out. Left half.
McGargle		20 Feb 2014	Smells great. But at the abv a little thin with restrained hopping. A fine session beer though.
McGargle		21 Nov 2013	Cool, crisp, refreshing.
McGargle		12 Feb 2013	Inviting hop presence on the nose carried forward to a new world hop flavour and a satisfyingly dry, moreish finish. Similar to Dead Pony Club but more restrained.

McGargle		11 Oct 2014	The cask had been disturbed so the beer poured both a little hazy and yeasty. Perfectly drinkable though and good marks to the barman for warning that it might not be in the best condition.
