Alenomore		28 Jul 2012	Fresh on to replace the Youngers. Again, appropriately named, but not new, as sampled in London in January 2011. Gave it 5* as it was particularly good. Getting them this fresh is to sample ale at it's very best I think.

Martin the Mildman		24 Dec 2009	Another brew for Spirit Group's London pubs, this is a malty brew with some hoppiness and a short, bitter finish in true Young's style. My score 15/20.
