Typical evening crowd.
Fyne - Jarl | 3.80 | | Since head brewr Will Woods left Fyne beers (including Jarl) have been of variable quality. Tonight it was spot on. Uncompromisingly bitter with loads of fresh Citra. |

Harviestoun - Ruck and Maul | 3.70 | Not Tried | |

Staff enthusing about Fyne Sperior IPA. Of course it had just gone off but great to hear people behind the bar keen on their product.
Fyne - Avalanche | 4.50 | | Uncompromisingly bitter and served in top condition. Just prefer the extra fruitiness of Jarl. |
Burnside - M-Pire | 5.20 | | This was awful. Think oxidised cooking sherry and you'd be close. |

Very busy. Quick service.
Burnside Sandbagger (a one off charity brew) also on. Strong whiskey taste - abv not noted.
Orkney (Sinclair) - Wayfarer IPA (Atlas range) | 4.40 | | This was badged as 5% abv and showed the extra body. Light bittering with good fruity hops. Short finish. |
Burnside - Wild Rhino | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
