Evening. I had been decorating for 9 hours, ached all over but needed a pint. Good therapy here as usual.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakham - Citra | 4.20 | | Spot in. |
| 4T's - Passion Storm | 4.80 | | I was told to expect a very fruity beer - but not that it would look like pea soup. I asked if it was unfined, the answer was “yes, but not THAT unfined!” Promptly swapped and taken off sale. |

Late lunchtime - the bus passers were out on a “5th Thursday” jaunt. Well, that only happens every 28 years on average in February. Only the six of us in.
5 other beers on, not noted.

Quiet when I arrived, maybe 3 other people in, but heaving when we left! Great pub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surrey Hills - Albury Ruby | 4.60 | | Umm, a Ruby hey. Tasted like a stout. Black, roasted and stout like |
| Surrey Hills - Shere Drop | 4.20 | | Very clean tasting, a bit like Gadd's 5 |
| Adnams - Southwold Bitter | 3.70 | | Bit warm, probably first one poured that day. |
| Oakham - Slovenian Wolf Single Hop | 3.90 | | Great condition but just odd tasting. Very hoppy but with a weird mouldy cheese taste on the finish. |
| Dark Star - American Pale Ale (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 4.70 | Not Tried | |

Early evening busy as expected for such time on a Friday. Superb choice as always, my only gripe is the chalkboard listing the ales available doesn't reference which brewery they originate from.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 360° - Summer Breeze | 4.40 | | Appearance was murky and taste was syrupy and rather cloying. |
