Just 10 minutes walk from my house, so I popped in at opening time on Sunday and was most surprised and pleased with what I found. Only one beer had run out.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rockin Robin - Hoppin Robin | 3.70 | | Sweet malt and fruit dominate with a soft hoppiness. Very drinkable with a fruity finish. My score 16/20. |
| Potbelly - Crazy Daze | 5.50 | | Pale IPA style with sweetish malt flavours balanced by fruity hop. Full bodied with a slightly vineous finish. My score 15/20. |
| Tonbridge - Golden Braun | 3.20 | | Spelt "Braun" on the pumpclip, as it is a take on a German Altbier, albeit a low strength version. Fairly bitter with some malt and a light fruitiness from the German hops. My score 15/20. |
| Farmer's Ales (Maldon Brewing) - Cavalier | 4.00 | | Malty amber bitter with some fruity hop flavour. My score 15/20. |
| Island Brewery - Wight Knight | 4.50 |  | Shown as Wight Knight on pumpclip, dark gold in colour with a fairly sharp hop flavour. The finish is dry and sharp. My score 13/20. |
| Tring - Bob's Pass | 4.40 | | Rather harsh flavours to this amber bitter, derived from amber malt and challenger hops, a bitter combination. My score 13/20. |

Arrived about 1pm and there was plenty of room to sit in the marquee. Watched the match and returned for the evening session. The marquee soon filled up with people and some noisy bands but relief was to be had outside. Good selection of ales some of which were not on the programme.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summer Wine (SWB) - Diablo | 6.00 |  | Got to be the beer of the festival for me. Apart from the hops they must put magnets in the brew. I kept getting drawn back for another one. |
| Potbelly - Beijing Black | 4.40 | | |
| Vale - Black Beauty Porter (superseded by 4.4% version) | 4.30 | | |
| Farmer's Ales (Maldon Brewing) - Farmers Golden Boar | 5.00 | | |
| Windsor & Eton - Conqueror | 5.00 | | |
| Summer Wine (SWB) - Barista Expresso Stout | 4.80 | | |
| Tonbridge - Golden Braun | 3.20 | | Good flavour for such a low gravity. |
| Cheddar - Totty Pot | 4.50 | | |
| Loddon - Gorgeous George | 4.30 | | |
| Spitting Feathers - Basket Case | 4.80 | | |
| Westerham - Jubilation | 4.00 | | |
