I had been looking forward to coming back here for ages. It was the one pub I had a strong rememberance of from my last visit to the city 6 years ago. Mid afternoon and there was a mixed crowd in, but not busy.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elgood's - Wheat | 4.50 | | Gold with thin beige head. Cereal aroma, good mouthfeel, some banana/bubblegum with good lemony finish. One of the better English wheat beers. Full and cereal. Good lemony finish. |
| Buffy's - Norwich Terrier | 3.60 | | Copper, slight haze, off white head. It's a slightly earthy, slightly citrusy session bitter. Quite a good dusty earthy finish though, gives it some character. Fine. |
