Philip Pirrip		09 May 2017	Rather acidic and metallic. No Robinsons snatch nor hop nose. Drank up quickly and moved on.
Philip Pirrip		03 Feb 2014	Warmish and unappealing. Quiet Monday night's slow sales not helping perhaps
Philip Pirrip		22 Jul 2013	Too warm
Philip Pirrip		22 Nov 2012	Really bitter mouthfeel and on the lips
Philip Pirrip		19 Oct 2012
Philip Pirrip		18 Jul 2012	Right nose but have had much better. Became sourer as pint went down in the glass
Philip Pirrip		10 Jun 2012	Funny old thing is real ale not matching the 5 star performance of my last visit here
Philip Pirrip		18 May 2012	I have to mark this with the highest accolade of 5 stars. Right temperature, distinctive sulphury nose and bitter on the lips - the best Robbies I have had for a number of years. Well done pub.

Brian		27 Sep 2008	I had this in Cumbria where it was served with a sparkler, the result was a creamy, soapy brew. Here is was on gravity and it was like a different beer entirely. This was fruity with a sherbert sweetness, marmalade finish. Excellent condition.
