| Turnstone - High Seas | 4.80 | | super, very pale, outstanding hops, very nice. |
| Rockin Robin - Reckless Robin | 4.50 | | Nice, but not as nice as I rememered. |

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 (was 3.7%) | 3.40 | Not Tried |

| Dark Star - Green Hop IPA | 6.50 | | Superb, the best green hop ale I have had this year. (sorry Eddie) Stunning |
| Purity - Mad Goose | 4.20 | | I love this beer, very nice. |

A bit quiet early Friday afternoon, picking up when we left. Here for the Beer Festival.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |
