14:00 Just got off the train and on our way to the tram. Popped in here for refreshment. Reasonably quiet. Had a beer served through a fount. I noticed that the bar man turned the handle through 90 degrees and he explained to me that the two different positions provided a different flow to the beer.

Early evening. Third attempt to find a pub with a seat. Lack of a television meant it wasn't full of people watching Murray.

| Kelburn - Goldihops | 3.80 | | A bit lacklustre |

One of my favourite pubs on the Edinburgh Ratebeer crawl. The beer was good and I had finally woken up. This I put down to the deep fried Mars bar that I had from the chippy an hour before.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fyne - Innishail | 3.60 | | Pale gold, thin white head. Citrusy pale gold hoppy beer in the JHB mould. Some grapefruit, some hay style pale malt, grassy throughout. Decent tingly crisp finish. Bit of mouth puckering acidity. Good biting crisp pale gold beer. |
| Hadrian and Border - Flotsam | 4.00 | | Amber, lasting beige head. OK bitter with good hop/malt balance, some tea. Decent hop finish. |
