Greene King - Abbot5.00GoodFobbed massively on pulling the pint. I was at first worried if it was near the end of cask but proved to be really floral hopped on nose and taste. Odd! The mass agitation must have pushed the floral into the head
Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%)3.40AcceptableA chaser at 50p for a half. Thin but quite OK

Elgood's - Blackberry Porter4.50GoodPoured by another staff member this 2nd pint was properly conditioned and presented and very enjoyable
Elgood's - Blackberry Porter4.50Acceptable1st one poured totally flat, had to be enlivened with some dashes of lemonade. Odd as others here had pints with head and lacing

Shepherd Neame - Hop to the Future4.50ExcellentI was pleased I did not get any of the tropical or citrus named in the tasting notes. Instead a highly floral hopped nose and taste. How Shep's could be on its core range if it wanted
