Sunday lunch for a family meal - busy and staff a little stretched - but good choice of well kept beers again. With exception of 'spoons I think this pub is one of the best for real ale variety in the Canterbury area.

Easter Monday late lunchtime. Very busy -
stopped for a pint, but had lunch - nice food shame about the lack of plates (I believe it is considered fashionable by some to serve food on lumps of wood these days).
Back here after my visit last month - good to see the variety of ales continues.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Dancing Duck - Abduction | 5.50 | | Top condition - sweet hazelnuts? |

1 min after 1900 so just missed discount time - 60p off a pint so £3.80. Busy with eaters and drinkers but not crowded - good buzz especially for a Monday night. Very good choice of ales.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phoenix - Brunning & Price Original Bitter | 3.80 | | Subtle taste - grew on me the more I supped - brilliant clarity - likely to be an excellent session ale. |

Saturday afternoon. Most people were eating but there were a few locals at the bar just enjoying a pint. Really cosy well run pub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - Golgotha | 5.50 | | Lovely oatmeal stout. Had this recently at the bottom Spoons in Canterbury but as their pump clip was hand written it didn't have the name on it. Excellent both times though. |
| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - Single Hop Sybilla | 4.50 | | Really very nice fruity light beer with some nettley hop. |

About 1.30 when we arrived. A few families in at first. It stayed pretty busy all the while that we were there.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Snow Top | 6.00 | | Like Dark Conspiracy but sweeter. |
| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - Single Hop Dana | 4.00 | | Excellent condition. Stewed fruit aroma, clean, citrus finish. |

Just after lunchtime. Packed at first but then thinned out a bit. Really nice friendly feel to the place , the staff are excellent and the beers not bad too.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Silver Top | 4.50 | | Somewhere between good and excellent. Milky chocolate but with a bitter finish. Really very good. |
| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Pardoner's Ale (superseded by 3.8% version) | 4.10 | | Definitely 4.1 as the pump clip had been altered as such. Lemony, stewed fruit, bitter pears drops you know the thing. Really nice though, excellent condition. |

Sunday lunchtime, full with eaters when we arrived, managed to get a seat and had a couple as things thinned out a bit. Really friendly staff.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hopdaemon - Green Daemon | 5.00 | | Really nice smooth pint. I've tried this a few times in the past and this was the best I've had. |
| Adnams - Kristal White Ale | 4.20 | | A bit weird. Nice, but heavy hit of cloves in the mouth. Clear and golden. OK but wouldn't have ordered a second as it's a bit too demanding. |
