Blue Bee - Light Blue3.60ExcellentA newish beer from Blue Bee. One of the Blue Bee staff was buying some take homes and we had a good chat about the brewery and some its finest. This beer grew on me with its dry bitter taste

1915 hours visit. With students on summer vacation the pub was much quieter than usual and less food trade meant less invasive food smells. The previous day the pub had hosted Blue Bee Brewery's first birthday party so lots of Blue Bee beers in evidence including once offs.

Special early opening for the annual beer scoopers crawl of Sheffield.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Blue Bee - Lustin' For Stout4.80GoodQuite bitter and roasty but lacking body giving a rather thin, short finish. My score 15/20.
25 Nov 2011 (Martin the Mildman)
Very busy even by 5pm on a Friday evening.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Blue Bee - Techmophobeer4.00ExcellentBlack porter style beer with a good malt character balanced by some hop bitterness. The finish is fairly malty. My score 16/20.
17 Oct 2011 (davidg83)
Lively for drinkers + diners. The slutty rutty butty came recommended.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Blue Bee - Nectar Pale4.00AcceptablePale hoppy + notes of citrus. Easy drinking but nothing memorable.

Busy late on a Saturday afternoon.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Elland - Red and Ruined4.80ExcellentA sweet and malty red ale that doesn't become cloying like some of this type due to a good balance of hops. My score 16/20.
