16:00 No other customers. A new pub for my three chums.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redwell - White IPA - Keg | 6.00 | | Stunning hoppy taste to start. By the end of the pint it was starting to taste a bit stale. With 20 beers on sale I wonder how fresh some of the beers are. |

Early evening visit. I was surprised to find that they do not sell any cask conditioned beer here at all (missing a trick I feel) and it is also a bit irritating that a very interesting beer selection has a mix of old style fizzy keg and the much better key-keg types, but without clear differentiation. A really nice place though and a good atmosphere.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redchurch - Barrel-aged Stout | 7.50 | | On key-keg, with only natural carbonation. My friend and I were agreed that this was easily the best beer of our day in Norwich. Outstanding. |
| London Fields - Pumpkin Ale 2014 | 6.00 | | We were surprised to find this was on fizzy keg, the flavours of the beer near-killed by chill and carbonation. |

18:15 As my mate enjoyed the Mash Tun we then came here as it was another new tick for him. Fairly busy.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redwell - Indian Pale Ale | 6.50 | | This is the micro fizz version. A superb example of an IPA. |

The pub is found in Norwich, Norfolk, NR2 4SN.
Recent addition to the Norwich pub scene. Housed in a former furniture shop in Redwell Street. It specialised in craft keg beers and foreign bottled beer but sells no cask ales. Very pleasant place to enjoy a drink but gets very busy weekend evenings. Change of name to Panda and became a cocktail and wine bar in September 2018. Closed in January 2020 due to an allegedly large business rates hike.
We have visited this pub 4 times, seen 18 different beers and tried 6 of them.
