A large ballroom with a lot of seating with beers and ciders in three distinct bar areas. Plenty of room on Friday lunchtime but I suspect it will get busier later. In my view, a conservative beer list and there were no Kent beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summer Wine (SWB) - Diablo | 6.00 | | Here is a brewery who knows how to tempt your taste buds. I've yet to be disappointed. Loads of complex flavours with a good hop balance. My beer of the festival. |
| Green Jack - Excelsior | 4.00 | | Fairly flavoursome. |
| Little Valley - Python IPA | 6.00 | | Well hopped with good malty flavours. |
| Ilkley - Stout Mary | 4.50 | | Very nice oatmeal stout. |
| Ilkley - Smoked Witch | 5.00 | | A good dark smokey beer. |
| Bridestones - Dark Mild | 4.50 | | Fairly sweet with some complex flavours. |
| Empire - Kismet | 4.10 | | Was what the tasting notes said "pale, fruity aromatic bitter". |
| North Yorkshire - Cereal Killer | 4.50 | | A tad bland. |
| Epicurus Craft Beer (formerly Hornbeam) - Lemon Blosson | 3.70 | | Light, golden with not much body. I did not find very much lemon coming through. |
| RCH - Hewish Mild | 3.60 | | A bit thin. |
| Green Jack - Hop Harvest | 4.00 | | A golden beer but for a beer that has fresh hops I did not find any different hop flavours from a normal brew. |
| Tirril - Pennine Pilsner | 4.00 | | A lager style beer, fairly sweetish but I did not find and evidence of the Saaz hops mentioned in the tasting notes. |
