Evening visit until relaxed close + if outside in the garden. Friendly place but not sure the gravity cask ale pouring method (here, not generically) is in any way bringing out the best in the product.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Five Points - Railway Porter | 4.80 | | Seems to be problem here about how gravity beers are being poured. I mark as beer handed to me - it was flat and no head. Once I have performed multiple decantings between two pint glasses it came to life and would have been a 3½* |
| Garden City - Birthday Bitter | 4.30 | | Strong flavours but poured absolutely flat and conditionless. Even multiple decantings between two pint glasses brought no life |
| Garden City - Full Nelson | 5.10 | | Seems to be problem here about how gravity beers are being poured. I mark as beer handed to me - it was flat and no head. Once I have performed multiple decantings between two pint glasses it came to life and would have been a 3½* |

A busy afternoon session at this fine taproom. Here with Simon F.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garden City - Golden Promise | 3.90 | | A very nicely-hopped Golden Ale. |
| Garden City - Molly's Mild | 3.50 | | A nice, fruity, dark Mild. |
| Garden City - Birthday Bitter | 4.50 | | Exactly how a proper Bitter should be. |
| Abbeydale - Serenity #8 Single Hop Jarrylo | 3.80 | | From a keg. Interesting hop flavours. |

Late afternoon to mid evening and venue for this month's Friday Evening group. Busy with a mix of young and old folk with the outside seating proving popular despite the cold weather and the odd shower or three.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garden City - Beer For Berty | 5.20 | | I saved this for my last pint before leaving however it was so good I had another of this earthy peppery dangerously drinkable ale. |
| Bad Seed - Easy Duty | 3.70 | | Light and refreshing zesty pale ale |
| Garden City - Bitter | 4.50 | | Nutty malty standard bitter |
| Garden City - Session Saison | 4.60 | | More than my 5 a day in this fruity xmas fruits punch |
| Abbeydale - Decadence | 4.00 | | Tropical fruits yet a hoppy aroma with a slightly sweet malt finish |
| Garden City - Banjax | 4.60 | Not Tried | |
| Garden City - What The Fuggle | 5.00 | Not Tried |
