Sunday lunch - first in just after 12 (but the clocks have gone back - so where is everyone?). The manager tells me he has an Oakham theme planned for next weekend.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakham - Green Devil IPA | 6.00 | | On keg - but still gorgeous. The manager said he ordered the keg version of this to make suret it lasted. Put it on Thursday last - I only got a taster and then it ran out. It may be back on cask at this rate. |
| Elgood's - Cambridge IPA | 4.70 | | A really crisp, hoppy bitter in excellent condition. |
| Purity - Mad Goose | 4.20 | | |
| Westerham - Hop Rocket India Pale Ale | 5.50 | | On cask - only had a taster - very full flavoured, quite sweet and malty for an IPA I thought. |
| St Austell - Tribute | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Adnams - Southwold Bitter | 3.70 | Not Tried |
