17:00 visit. Last call in Shepway and we were swiftly served today, which was good, and much better than the ale on this visit!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shepherd Neame - Rudolph's Reward | 3.70 | | Here they come again. The Xmas ales? Not sure at all on this seasonal from Shep's. Should it really taste this bad? We both agreed on this. Very poor, harsh taste. Will need to try this somewhere else for a comparison. No time to try the other decent LocAles on.... |

19:30 visit. Fairly swift service today. First and only visit this weekend to this very average JD. Fair crowd in but plenty of seats and tables available.

| Adnams - Topaz Gold | 4.00 | | A surprise new ale to me in this, normally very negative, JD? In very good nick too. |

17:30 visit. Queued for an age to get served today even though not overly busy. Four ales on and my pint was well short of an acceptable measure. Staff are none too keen either. Great building/conversion just let down today by poor service.

|---|---|---|---|
| Franklins - Grumpy Guvnor | 4.50 | | Our friend had this and thought it was very good. |
| Whitstable - East India Pale Ale (or EIPA) | 4.10 | | OK, end of the cask and just ok. |

They have knocked the festival beers down to 1.50 or something equally cheap. Picked up yet another new festival beer may do all 50 yet.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Ghost Ship | 4.50 | | I really like this wheat beer with lovely hops on the finish |
| Oakleaf (now see Fallen Acorn entries) - Wethers Original | 4.80 | | Very drinkable bitter. Good nick some biscuit and hop on the finish. |

Three beers turned over since yesterday which explains the poor conition of yesterday's beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| BrewDog - Edge | 3.20 | | I mean its a good beer but way too hoppy to be a mild. Like Dark Star Over the Moon its a dark bitter. |
| St Austell - Coxswain's Special | 4.00 | | Not quite as good as first time I had it but it is a solidly good session bitter which is actually bitter. |
| Lincolnshire Craft (formerly Tom Wood's) - Tom Woods Vanilla Orchid | 4.80 | | Magogany colour with thin beige head. A little suspicious of the vanilla title. Certainly vanilla and malt on the aroma. Bit toasty too. Problem is the flavour that has some cardboard that is not entirely pleasant. Finish has a bit more rich malt and a touch more vanilla but the cardboard flavour lingers. |

Came straight from work. Moderately busy. Excited to see the Harviestoun pump clip til I saw the coming soon sign.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Palm - Steenbrugge Blond | 6.00 | | Bit lacking on hops and thin in mouth. |
| Shepherd Neame - Sam Adams Blonde Ambition (superseded by 4.5% version) | 5.50 | | Not great to be honest. Bit of rose fruit and that is about it. Even a touch of diacetyl. |
| Caledonian - Edinburgh Strong Ale | 6.40 | | Quite strong and the syrupy alcohol is not well hidden. Ok though |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| JW Lees (see also Lees) - Chocoholic | 3.60 | Not Tried | |
| Banks's - UCB | 5.30 | Not Tried |

Real biting English style IPA English EKG hop all overy it. I burped EKG hop!! |
| Hook Norton - Easy Weasel Ale | 4.50 | | Brown, lasting beige head. Biscuity bitter, fullish in mouth, subtle rich fruit. Tasty best bitter, rather good. Some fruit on aroma. Good condition. |
