Very busy.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fyne - Sublime Stout | 6.80 | | At its best this is a deep and subtle beer. This wasn't and seemed poor value at £4.35. |

Nothing of interest. Think London Pride, Red MacGregor.

Late evening and trade ticking over.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fyne - Great Pacific Hop Patch | 5.50 | | Not entirely convincing APA. Hops should have been more forward. |

Local trade.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fyne - Rune | 3.50 | | Fresh but thin. |
| Deeside - Swift | 3.80 | | Served in good condition but lacking in everything you'd expect in an APA. |
| Windswept - Wolf | 6.00 | Not Tried | |
| Windswept - Blonde | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Orkney (Sinclair) - Puffin Ale | 4.50 | Not Tried |

Busyish.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fyne - Jarl | 3.80 | | Bitter and drying but without the Citra burst we've come to expect. |
| Caledonian - 80/- | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Harviestoun - Bitter & Twisted | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Orkney (Sinclair) - Red MacGregor | 4.00 | Not Tried |

Typical keen service.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fyne - Fladda Rock ‘n’ Roll | 5.50 | | Misjudged. Belgian yeast adds nothing except overcomplicating an otherwise OK IPA. Maybe 2*. |

The pub is found in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, AB11 6BA.
Long, narrow single roomed bar in Union Street, with very strong local trade. Usually three ales available plus an excellent selection of single malts. On CAMRA's National Inventory - have a look at the plaster work above the gantry. Bought by McGinty's Group in early 2019.
We have visited this pub 50 times, seen 59 different beers and tried 25 of them.
