Just a few in at lunchtime. The pub shut at 2.30 on a Sunday just before xmas.....and was closed in the evening due to a private party.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rudgate - IPA | 5.20 | | Not bad, but expected more hit from a high volume IPA. |
| Mad Cat - Crispin Ale | 4.00 | | Just about OK. A bit of an eggy smell and a hint of the well known buttery taste of a beer that's not quite right. |
| Adnams - Ghost Ship | 4.50 | Not Tried |

Early evening - handful of drinkers - note Beer Festival starts tomorrow for the Bank Holiday weekend.

|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - Sunburst | 4.80 | | Good condition, nice hoppy flavour but rather lacking in body. |

Quite early evening. Good conversation about all beer related stuff. Very friendly pub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arbor Ales - Yakima Valley | 7.00 | | Stunning. An assault on the taste buds, full on malt and hops. So nice but dangerous. |
