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.
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 | |

A bit quiet early Friday afternoon, picking up when we left. Here for the Beer Festival.
Downton - Chimera IPA | 6.80 |  | Waited until last to try this. Dangerous and delicious. The high ABV is obvious but so drinkable. Stunning, I love this beer, perfect balance of malt and hops |
Oakham - Scarlet Macaw | 4.40 |  | Good bitterness match by a full malt body. |
Saltaire - Cascade Pale Ale | 4.80 |  | Nice but a bit lacking on the hops and bitterness. |
Skinner's (now brewed by Goodh) - Lushingtons | 4.20 |  | Nice but average. |
Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Al Murray, The Pub Landlord's Beautiful British Beer | 4.00 |  | A bit disappointing for a Gadds. OK but average. |
