Lunchtime visit.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hawkshead - Cumbrian Five Hop | 5.00 | | |
| Orkney (Sinclair) - Raven Ale | 3.80 | | Horribly sour and clearly off. Was changed after an exchange with the shift leader, but the replacement was slammed down in front of me so it wasn't just the beer that left an unpleasant taste. Complaint fired off to JDW for their comments. Addendum: JDW wrote back and apologised sincerely and passed my comments onto the Area Manager. |
| B&T (Banks & Taylor's) - Edwin Taylor's Extra Stout | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| RCH - PG Steam | 3.90 | Not Tried | |
| Kent - Cobnut | 4.10 | Not Tried |

Lunchtime, delighted to see Kent Brewery beers available. Disappointed to see Broadside now taking three of the available hand pulls.

| Celt Experience (now brands are owned by Evans Evans) - Native Storm | 4.40 | | Nice enough and had a spicy character, the origin of which was hard to determine but, according to the pump clip, was present by design. |

| Everards (see entries against Joule's & Robinsons whilst its new brewery was being built) - Koroibos | 4.50 | | Nice enough, but after the stronger flavour of the Gem this seemed a little muted. |
