14:00 Fourth stop. Not very busy. Cellar Manager was serving and he told us that he is going to do some brewing with the Odyssey brewery. CAMRA discount was offered without asking. The pub is no longer tied to Arbor Ales.

After work crowd in. Nice feel to the pub. Solid wood furniture and old wooden floor.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arbor Ales - Breakfast Stout | 7.40 | | A mental beer. Heavy chocolate and coffee. Lots of alcohol. |
| Arbor Ales - Single Hop - Motueka | 3.80 | | Pale gold. Mellow and warming in the mouth in a kind of alcoholic mellon and honey way |

Empty apart from me.Cool and quiet after a busy day driving and working. Trying a bit of real time visit reporting with the new tablet.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arbor Ales - Hoptical Delusion | 3.80 | | Good condition but a bit lacklustre on the hops. Wish I had had the Dark Star. |

Late afternoon on a working day, but there are plenty of beer-spotters here, including a group up from Cardiff for a session. CAMRA discount claimed. This pub is owned by Arbor Brewery, rather than, strictly speaking, being a freehouse.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moor - JJJ IPA | 9.00 | | Available here on keg dispense. Amber in colour. Hazy, verging on cloudy – presumably unfined and unfiltered. Has huge, fruity, hop flavours, backed by serious alcohol. Great. Very much like some US West Coast hop monsters. |
| Arbor Ales - Triple Hop Series #7 | 4.00 | | Amber in colour. More hops in this pint than in all the beer that I drank in five days whilst away on holiday abroad put together. Showcases Cascade, Centennial and Columbus hops. |
| Arbor Ales - Blue Sky Drinking | 4.40 | | Amber in colour. A good, balanced bitter. |
| Green Jack - Lurcher Stout | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
| Saltaire - Dark Matter | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Arbor Ales - Yakima Valley | 7.00 | Not Tried | |
| Saltaire - Elderflower Blonde | 4.00 | Not Tried |

I like this pub, it's all about the beer, no TV , no music, just good beer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moor - Revival (was 3.8%) | 3.40 | | Excellent hoppy pale bitter, citrus notes and a long finish. |
| Arbor Ales - Brigstow Bitter | 4.30 | | Nice average bitter. |
| Arbor Ales - Hoptical Delusion | 3.80 | | Nice, but expecting a bit more hop. |
| Arbor Ales - Bock Star | 6.40 | | Nice pale strong ale |
| Arbor Ales - Triple Hop | 4.00 | Not Tried | Ran out as my pint was pulled. |

Disaster, no mild! Settled for a honey beer as the closest alternative.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arbor Ales - Hunny Beer | 4.20 | | Amber with a smooth and full bodied honey flavour with the characteristic Arbor hoppiness. My score 16/20. |

Just a few locals in on a Saturday afternoon.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arbor Ales - Mild West | 3.60 | | Classic black mild with sweet malty toffee notes with some roastiness. Full on smooth flavour and a sweetish, malty finish. My score 17/20. |
