Early evening. This is a great pub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turning Point - Caught in a Metaphor | 4.30 | | Murky gold. Fruity hops and a soft mouthfeel. |
| Buxton - Simcoe IPA | 5.40 | | The full hoppy murk. |
| Big Smoke - Cosmic Dawn | 4.30 | | Clear gold. Just a shade disappointing given the hop mix. Still good though. |
| Manchester - Cut Like a Buffalo | 4.50 | | Quite a clean IPA. |
| Exeter - Falls Over | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Big Smoke - Solaris Session Pale | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Exeter - Lighterman | 3.50 | Not Tried | |

My second visit here as I wad in the area and had 90 minutes to kill. Very busy on a Thursday evening, this pub seems to have already been embraced by the local community. Not too surprising considering the lack of solid beer pubs in the town.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Big Smoke - Dark Wave Porter | 5.00 | | One to look out for. Fantastic porter in perfect condition. Far too drinkable. |
| Binghams - Twyford Tipple | 3.70 | | I really enjoyed this. Extremely quaffable bitter. |
| Sambrook's - Brown Dog Riot | 4.50 | | Ever so slightly past it's best but still in reasonably good condition. Decent brown. |
