Very busy in this wet led bar.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fyne - Jarl | 3.80 | | Bordering on 4*. |
| Fierce - Go Easier Zesty Pale Ale | 3.40 | | Flat and turbid. Tasted thoroughly unpleasant. Enough to put a new cask drinker off for life. Disappointing that the bar kept it on sale. Note: this beer is really Fierce Go Easy. |

Spoiled for choice. As always the service was excellent. Friendly welcome and staff always knew who was next to be served. Others take note.
