Another not visited since this time last year. Busy for my mid-afternoon visit. A friendly welcome and prompt service in this fine little micro and bingo, I was able to still follow the green hop theme here as well.

5th and last visit of the day in Ramsgate was this green hop that was slightly minus head and lacing but a lovely hoppy mouthfeel. It had a dry aftertaste with a mildly fruity flavour added in and so a touch applely to my taste-buds.

This was on special at £3.50, However it was obvious it was on the way out. In hindsight, I would have tried something else. Still acceptable.
