Philip Pirrip		30 Aug 2025	Spot on, quite simply HSBB as it should be
Philip Pirrip		04 Aug 2025	1st pint very good but note my second score
Philip Pirrip		04 Aug 2025	2nd pint was cooler and felt a tad fresher and better - don't know how
Philip Pirrip		27 Jun 2025	In lovely nick at bitter end of this ale's possible taste spectrum

Jack William		28 Aug 2025	First one out at noon. Looked ok, reasonably clear with a good head. But a definite whiff to this. Two subsequent pints (had by others) similar. On mentioning this we were told it was a fresh barrel. We all knew what a good pint of this should be like. £5.50.
Jack William		06 Mar 2025	Once the barrel had been changed (after a returned pint) the fresh barrel was in top condition.

Jack William		03 Jul 2025	Spot on this regular here. Would have given it another star if I hadn’t had to ask for it to be topped up (it was, grudgingly).
