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.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Five Points - Railway Porter4.80AcceptableSeems 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 Bitter4.30AcceptableStrong flavours but poured absolutely flat and conditionless. Even multiple decantings between two pint glasses brought no life
Garden City - Full Nelson5.10AcceptableSeems 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*

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.
