Return visit hoping to enjoy Moor Revival. It had gone!

|---|---|---|---|
| Magic Rock - Ringmaster | 3.90 | | Well brewed and well kept there's something in the Magis Rock house style which I'm not too keen on. Many other will disagree. |

Not been here for a while but tend to agree with McGargle that service can veer from the gracious to the grudging. Tonight was a bit of both but the guy with the thin beard was excellent.

| Moor - Revival (was 3.8%) | 3.40 | | Refreshing, bitter and hoppy. Just the thing for a summer's evening. |

Excellent service from the guy with dreads and the guy from St. Andrews. Others take note: it can be done.

| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | | What a surprise in NE Scotland. Clean, very clean, dry and hoppy but minus the Citra hit I was expecting. |
| Tiny Rebel - Billabong Aussie Pale Ale | 4.60 | | Tasty, hoppy but lacking condition. Disappointing really. |

Disappointing that some of the staff seemed to prefer gossiping with mates than serving customers.

Busy on the harbourside. Police on the alert for the over-enthusiastic. Looks like Thistly Cross cider is a permanent addition.
