Visits Details
28 Dec 2024 (Hogan Sampling)
Time for a curry to soak up those beers earlier and my first visit to this rabbit-warren of a Spoons' pub which was bustling. One in our party kindly saved the rest of us a seat whilst we placed our orders and chose our beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mad Squirrel (formerly Red Squirrel) - Evolve | 4.10 | | Good head and lacing on this Hemel Hempstead-based bitter. A very creamy head minus the usual lacing. A bitter mouthfeel and lingering and thankfully not sweet and which aided washing down the curry. |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Morland Old Speckled Hen | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 3 | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
