Came for the cider festival, despite the fact I don't actually like cider all that much. Good to see so many people turn out for it, and finally met Ian! Tried a good few ciders, I'm still an ale man though.

| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Old Pig Ramsgate Brown Ale | 4.80 | | This is a great beer. Rich and malty with plenty of fruit. |

It was the 1st Thanet Cider & Perry festival, so I had to go didn't I? A great evening with Phil Lowry, Alistair, Eddie Gadd and Blair (who I got to meet at last!!!).
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Old Pig Ramsgate Brown Ale | 4.80 | | OK so I had drunk cider all night, but this was brilliant. Malt and hops!!!! Clear pale chestnut, lasting beige head, a good looking beer. Lovely dry malt aroma with some earthy hop. Slight grapefruit. Soft and typically Gadd’s good malts in the mouth. Good hops on the finsih, quite tart and sharp which balances the malts well. Outstanding brown ale. Perfect condtion too. That’s a good beer. |

It was a gorgeous day so we sat outside and basked in the sunshine. Juicy Lucy were playing in the evening. It was a good day.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakham - Beermonster | 4.80 | | Very sharp and fruity. Really refreshing beer, also very bitter. Tasted distinctively Oakhamesque. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | | Malty best bitter. Easy drinking and tasty. |
| Ringwood - Old Thumper (now superseded by 5.1% version - separate entry) | 5.60 | | Rich and fruity. Good beer. Has been better in here though, just last week in fact. |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried |

The landlord really loves his beer, which is great. I'm not sure if he's new but they've really stepped it up a gear these last few months.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arundel - Stronghold | 4.70 | | Very good. Very malty with a lot of fruit going on. Really satisfying. |
| Batemans - Valiant | 4.30 | | Not bad, pretty sweet and uncharacteristic. Inoffensive though. |

It was quite nice outside so sat out and looked over the harbour.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Everards (see entries against Joule's & Robinsons whilst its new brewery was being built) - Tiger | 4.20 | | Dark copper coloured. Rich fruity beer with fair amount of hops. Not as good as expected but still nice. |

Really busy with some strange band playing. We weren't impressed with the band or the beer line-up so we scarpered pretty quickly.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ringwood - Old Thumper (now superseded by 5.1% version - separate entry) | 5.60 | | Best pint of thumper I've had. Really fruity, quite sweet but not too sweet. Full bodied and just great. |

Really quiet for a friday night, no band on as well which was odd.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hop Back - Summer Lightning | 5.00 | | Really malty with a nice straw like flavour to it. Good beer. |
| Cains - Finest Bitter | 4.00 | | Really rich fruity bitter. I was quite impressed, but for some reason it got a little too much by the end of the pint. |

There was a heavy metal band playing and it was packed with bikers. Made for a different experience.

Very quiet, but then everywhere is on a monday night it seems.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

Always know you're going to have a good time here. Still find it difficult getting on with the staff though.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Summer Ale | 3.90 | | Really good, toffee and hops. More flavour than you'd expect. |
| Crouch Vale - Amarillo | 5.00 | | Realy hoppy ale, not to my taste but I can recognise it's a damn good beer. |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
