Reasonably busy with a few diners in.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wood Street - Gold | 4.10 | | Not gold in colour, more ruby with a sweet and malty fruity character almost like a mild. Full flavoured with a fruity finish. My score 15/20. |
| Atomic - Planet | 4.40 | | Ruby/brown darker bitter with bitterness coming from malt rather than hops. Dry, malty finish. My score 13/20. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exit 33 (formerly The Brew Company then Sky's Edge) - Nevada | 3.90 | | Golden ale packed full of citrussy hops to give a full flavoured hoppy and citrus taste. The finish is of lingering citrus hops. My score 16/20. |
| Crown - Near Enough | 4.50 | | Pale bitter with some citrus hop character balanced by a little malt. My score 15/20. |
10 Dec 2010 (Martin the Mildman)

|---|---|---|---|
| Hardknott - Light Cascade | 3.40 | | Lots of dry citrus hop flavour for its strength. My score 15/20. |
| Fox - Apache | 3.80 | | Golden bitter with a bitter hop flavour leading to a dry, hoppy finish. My score 14/20. |

26 Jun 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crown - Middlewood Mild | 3.80 | | Lots of roast malt in this giving a dark chocolate flavour. My score 16/20. |
| Crown - Sun Ra | 3.00 | | Brewed with heliotrope to give a delicate, fragrant floral aroma. The colour is of pale peach. Quite a bitter beer with a dryish finish. My score 14/20. |
24 Apr 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Empire - Sexton Blake | 4.30 | | Traditional bitter with a dry, hoppy, bitter taste. My score 13/20. |
19 Dec 2009 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thorne - Darley's Ghost | 4.50 | | Sweetish with slightly more malt than hop flavours. Smooth, berry fruit finish. My score 15/20. |
| Crown - Beer Tickers Beyond The Ale | 3.70 | | Copper/bronze coloured beer with a strange aromatic flowery taste, suspect sorachi hop used along with other varieties. My score 13/20. |
