Visits Details
20 Nov 2019 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until 10pm close. Apart from meeting up with some old ex works chums overall a disappointment with a reduced beer range, ludicrously early closing time and awful tick off payment voucher cards.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hybrid - Evil Red II | 5.70 | | Programme said 6.66% but cask end label said 5.7% |
| Watsons - Apna wood | 5.30 | | Drank without noticing |
| Keith - Frank | 4.00 | | Warned by the barmaid that this was a Marmite beer. A raspberry infused beer which was suitably bitter but metallic. She said there had been some doubts but the tasting team had passed it for sale. The metallic taste made me dubious |
| Billericay (large volume beers brewed at Brentwood) - Mayflower Gold Reserve | 7.50 | | Programme said 6.5% but cask end label said 7.5%. The final bad experience. I had just bought a new £10 beer voucher and it had gone missing by the time I tried to pay for this beer, all in two minutes. The jury is still out as to why. I have two suspicions |
