A quick visit to see what was left. Pleasing to see that thirsty people had drank about 1/3 of the casks dry.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arundel - Sussex Mild | 3.70 | | Sweet and smooth with toffee and caramel malt flavours and very little hoppiness. A dryish finish. My score 16/20. |
| 1648 - 3 Threads | 4.30 | | Ruby coloured old mild style beer with a good mix of biscuity malt and fruity hop. My score 15/20. |
| Ascot - On The Rails | 3.80 | | Interesting to see this in the mild section, it is definitely not a mild. Although dark brown in colout it has assertive hop bitterness and just a little burnt malt taste. Mouthfeel is thin. my score 14/20. |

| Windsor & Eton - Knight of the Garter | 3.80 | | Pale with a very good balance between bicuity malt and citrus hop. Finish is a mix of malt and hop. My score 16/20. |
| Wantsum - Dynamo (superseded by 4.3% version) | 4.60 | | Strong golden ale with hop bitterness and a little malt balance. My score 15/20. |
| Whitstable - Renaissance Ruby Mild | 3.80 | | Some hop bitterness in this with some biscuity malt flavour as well. My score 15/20. |
| Arundel - Trident | 5.00 | | Hoppy and bitter premium bitter, amber in colour with a dry, bitter finish. My score 14/20. |
| Wantsum - Turbulent Priest | 4.40 | | Traditional best bitter with a very dry finish. My score 14/20. |
| Royal Tunbridge Wells - Sovereign Blonde | 3.80 | | Quite a bitter pale beer, with some of the bitterness from malt as well as hop. My score 14/20. |
