Bus pass outing. 8 of us and about the same number of regulars. Good banter and great service.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Downlands (formerly South Downs) - Evening Star Revival APA | 4.80 | | We were told that this was the from the Dark Star APA original recipe of 2005. Superb flavour, body and condition. |
| Bristol Beer Factory - Milk Stout | 4.50 | | Smooth but rather sweet. |
| Oakham - Nectaron | 4.00 | | Easy drinking pale ale with a good citrus kick. |
| Arbor Ales - Blue Sky Drinking | 4.40 | | Rather cold for a trad bitter - and a little metallic. |

Lunchtime bus-pass trip, 8 of us plus half a dozen locals. A very good session but surprised to hear last orders called around 1:50.
All ales at £4 a pint.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nene Valley - Manhattan Project | 4.00 | | Citrus fruity notes. Sparkling with good legs. Thoroughly enjoyed a quart of this. |
| Hop Fuzz - Old Chap English Bitter | 4.00 | | Full bodied malty best bitter. |
| Sambrook's - Sidekick | 3.40 | Not Tried | Apparently rather bland - but it is on 3.4 |

| Shiny - Positive Grindset | 4.70 | | Lovely vanilla stout that became too intense and bitter after a few mouthfuls. Lynne loved it. |

The rather wonderful "Real ale finder" app pinged and said Goachers Dark had just come on at the Just Reproach - so we headed back. Pub number 9 and our last of the day. Busier than before so we had to stand.

|---|---|---|---|
| Goacher's - Best Dark Ale (aka Original) | 4.10 | | Fresh on. Be cracking tomorrow I should think. |

Lynnes sons birthday so its proceccos on the beach with cake. The sun shone but we froze with the wicked breeze. 4 beers on and a full pub full of chatty characters. Unusual beers today all at £3.90 a pint.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakham - Echo Cask Aged | 5.00 | | Brown beer but full of what was described as different hops. The beer didn't work for me though perfectly adequate. |
| Tiny Rebel - Oh Apricot | 4.60 | | Described as an apricot milkshake but it was for the ladies who enjoyed it not me. In good condition though. |
| Verdant - Beyond the Pale | 4.30 | Not Tried |

Late afternoon- busy and enjoyable couple of pints to finish off our tour of Deal.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kent - The Quiet American | 4.20 | | |
| Oakham - Fruit Crumble | 4.00 | | A very unusual pint from Oakham’s usual pale offerings. Complex flavours that seemed to improve as the pint went down. |
| Kent - Session Pale | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
| Quantock - The Simple Things | 4.10 | Not Tried |

I arrived 3 minutes before 17.00 opening the lights were on and the door unlocked as the barmaid was putting the final touches into place, friendly welcome and was soon joined by a couple of friends and by the time we left a couple of hours later it was standing room only.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kent - Cobnut | 4.10 | | Roasted malts with a a strong nutty kick for this dark brown liquor.. |
| Iron Pier - Wealdway IPA | 4.50 | | Light hoppy slight hints of citrus made for a refreshing pint. |
| Kent - Southern Cross | 4.80 | | A fruity pale ale hopped with some of the latest Tasmanian hop varieties. |
| Brew By Numbers - 11 Session IPA Mosaic | 3.80 | | A hazy smooth tropical fruits feast with hardly any harsh citrus intensity. |
