Saturday evening and just brilliant. A shame to see that they appear to be using auto-vacs though.

Absolutely heaving after Ladies Day at the races so bought a carry out and left. Beer list same as last night.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakham - Scarlet Macaw | 4.40 | | If anything better than last night. Hops shone through a clear malt backdrop. |

Great place bursting with ale drinkers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakham - Scarlet Macaw | 4.40 | | Very drinkable APA. |
| Oakham - Green Devil IPA | 6.00 | | Hop forward modern IPA with sweet lats and a dry bitter finish. |
| Tempest - Ball Park | 3.80 | | Something lacking in this pale ale. Needed a bit more focus, felt rough round the edges. Surprising for a Tempest beer. |
