About 12 of us sat out in the garden and enjoyed the Sunday sun. The only other bloke in my party was 2. I kept my head down and drank my pint.

Sunday lunchtime (well opening time really). The pub was empty and we sat in the garden and watched the pub dogs roam around.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Everards (see entries against Joule's & Robinsons whilst its new brewery was being built) - Sunchaser | 4.00 | | Very pale yellow beer with virtually no taste in the mouth at all. There was a subtle citrus flavour present but I had to search to find it. However, the beers character comes out on the finish which is agressively hoppy. This was a very interesting beer to try. |

A late Saturday afternoon and with the sun making occasional visits out from the clouds we thought it worth sitting in the garden.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Otter - Ale | 4.50 | | Brown rich and fruity with subtle hops |
| Dorset Brewing Company - Weymouth Harbour Master | 3.60 | | A mid brown nutty beer that smelt of twiglets the way 6X does. |
