Been on my to do list for a while and I'm not disappointed. Mid afternoon just after opening time and soon joined by a few others.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boss - Boss Buzz | 4.30 | | Honey ale with a hint of sherbert. Superb. |
| North Riding Brewery - Cascade Pale | 4.00 | | As a pale ale should be. Dry light and hoppy. |
| Glamorgan (formerly Kite) - Bluestone Bitter | 4.00 | | Biscuity and malty not to my taste |
| Three Friends - Two Face | 4.00 | | Described as floral citrus tones but more sweet and toffee. |
| Vale - Go Lightly | 3.80 | Not Tried |
