Very impressive ale house with friendly staff and customers. Not all beers noted.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| York (now brewed by and at Black Sheep) - Motueka | 4.00 | | Light golden ale using Motueka hops. Satisfying almost light herbal flavours with good tropical fruits. Solid malts and dry finish. |
| Acorn - Special Pale Ale | 5.70 | | Brewed with Bobek hops this was almost a light winter warmer. Plenty of malt body and warmth from the alcohol with a little hopping for interest. |

Relative calm here away from the bustle of the city centre pubs.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phoenix - Monkeytown Mild | 3.90 | | Top quality here for this black mild. Sweet with chocolate and liquorice flavours dominating and very little hop character. My score 17/20. |

| WharfeBank - Black Tom | 4.40 | | Having had an undrinkable sample of this at Dewsbury Beer Fest, I was interested to see what this was like in a pub. I was not disappointed, an excellent black strong mild with a sweet caramelly flavour and a low hop rate. Fruity, slightly vineous finish. My score 16/20. |

The pub is found in York, North Yorkshire, YO1 6JX.
In Micklegate, an open long room with good choice of ales. Mainly seated accommodation here - few seem to stand around the bar. Closed for a short period in Spring 2013 and re-opened in April 2013 extended into next door premises with extra table seating adding about an extra 50% capacity. 10 handpumps on the bar. Announced in June 2010 would not be opening after the Covid-19 lockdown ends and it is reported that the building's owner wishes to "re-purpose" it.
We have visited this pub 32 times, seen 109 different beers and tried 42 of them.
