Early evening and heaving. Wonder why?

| six°north - Hop Classic (keg) | 6.60 | | When all (cask) fails there's Hop Classic. |
| Windswept - APA | 5.00 | | Some slight hopping but dominated by cardboard. Not a problem with the serve. |

Worthy winners of Aberdeenshire Pub of the Year.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alechemy - Citra Burst | 5.40 | | Spicy with a touch of citrus. |
| Eden Mill (formerly Eden (St. Andrews)) - Seggie Porter | 5.20 | | Nothing wrong with the dispense this is just a one dimensional (coffee), thin beer. Looked great though with it's foaming tan head. |

Three dogs in the bar. All quiet and well behaved.
Regular beers; Landlord, Deuchars and Six Deg. North Old School will not regularly be reported.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cromarty - Rogue Wave | 5.70 | | Much better than previously. This had strength to balance the hops. |
| Williams Brothers - Fraoch | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Summer Wine (SWB) - Barista Espresso Stout | 4.80 | Not Tried | Seems to have been 'on' for some time. |

Locals and brewers. Great place. Same ale list as last visit.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moor - Unfined Confidence | 4.60 | | Perhaps less hoppy; but still bitter, brave, hazy and tasty. |
