Hot sunny evening. Busy. Good beer range. Lousy service - too many shouts of 'Who's next?'. No attempt to manage the queue.

Busy with a lot of overseas visitors enjoying the old harbour and a pint.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| De Ranke - Hop Harvest 2015 | 6.20 | | Using the same malt bill as XB but with different hops this was, as expected, a clean, carefully structured beer. 5*? Nearly. |
| Five Kingdoms - Bysbie Blond | 4.50 | | Thin, dry and slightly astringent golden ale with more than a hint of badly executed home brew about it. |

Busy early evening. Enthusiastic staff keen to offer tasters.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cromarty - AKA | 6.70 | | Hoppy but slightly rich. Key keg. |

Pleasant buzz of conversation.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Five Points - Five Points Pale | 4.40 | | Consistently good pale ale. Hoppy with well judged sweetness. |
08 Mar 2016 (McGargle)
Warm fire. Six 6degN beers on tap.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| six°north - Hopocrisy | 4.60 | | Beer of the evening. Well defined flavour profile and true to style. (Keg) |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | | What used to be a yardstick beer now seems ordinary. Not many hops and little from the malts - more a strong pilsner. 3* just. (Keg) |
| Fyne - Maverick | 4.20 | | Just not to my taste. |
| Timothy Taylor - Landlord | 4.30 | Not Tried | |

Quiet.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fyne - Vital Spark | 4.40 | | Malty but fruity mild. |
| Wild Beer Co. - Fresh | 5.50 | | Wild are one of our better brewers but this example (on keg) was way over carbonated. |
