Rammed.
Six clips showing but only one had beer in it. Oh Dear JDW!

| Greene King - Hopportunity Knocks | 4.20 | | Surprisingly this was my beer of the weekend not so much for the beer but the faultless condition in which it was served. |

When other places let you down (yes I'm thinking of The Star) Swatters Carr is always a reliable option.

15:33 Having failed at Dr Phil's our bladders were stretched, so this offered a welcome respite. Very busy in the front less so opposite the bar. Unfortunately, having ordered a beer, I was suddenly taken ill and had to abort the rest of the weekend's plans and go straight home, if a six hour journey can be called straight.

Absolutely jammed but friendly atmosphere.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stonehenge - Old Smokey | 5.00 | | Quite thin for a porter at 5% but some smoke from the grain. |
| Adnams - Pretty Things Jack D'Or Saison Americaine | 6.00 | | OK but this example was one dimensional. |

Quick and friendly service.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marston Moor (brewed at Rudgate) - Dagaz | 3.60 | | Undemanding pale session ale. Would be better with more hops and less caramel. Slightly cloudy. |
| Rudgate - Ruby Mild | 4.40 | Not Tried |

Busy mid-evening - a good mix of locals and students.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rooster's - Wild Mule | 3.90 | | Light clean and hoppy. Just the thing after South Indian food at The Dosa Houze across the road. |

Busy. Quick friendly service.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summerskills - Bunker Hill Bitter | 5.10 | | Mid-brown beer. Easy drinking belying its strength with good hops to finish. |
| Nelson - Dragon's Revenge | 4.30 | | Nothing wrong with the serve this is just badly brewed beer. No coherence, just awful turgid, cardboard. Do JDW's beer buyers not taste before and after buying? |

After disappointments at The Isaac Wilson and Star it was great to come to a pub that was busy with keen staff and an enticing ale selection.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tring - Side Pocket for a Toad | 3.60 | | For a 'light' beer this was full bodied, some solid malt and excellent hop presence. |
| Ossett - Excelsius (was Excelsior) | 5.20 | | Full bodied, slightly sweet golden ale. |
| Cotswold Spring - Stunner | 4.00 | | Mid-brown, earthy and dry. |
| Ossett - Silver Fox | 4.10 | Not Tried |
