Bit disappointed not to find the Amber on. Watched a bit of the Portsmouth Southampton FA Cup game and moved on.

The third pub on a Saturday tour of Maidstone. We had hoped that Amber Ale would be available, but we were disappointed on this occasion.

| Shepherd Neame - Kent's Best | 4.10 |  | Ian chose the Late Red, I had the Kent's Best as it is harder to find. A good well kept pint. |

| Shepherd Neame - Master Brew Bitter | 3.70 | | on the rare occasions I find MB really on form I agree it is a super beer, but it rarely lives up to what I was drinking 20 years ago....this was one on top form though |
| Shepherd Neame - Late Red | 4.50 | | Been really good this season, probably why it's becoming all year available |

| Shepherd Neame - Master Brew Bitter | 3.70 | | When Master brew bitter is on top form as it was tonight In my opinion it is one of the best session bitters you will find, dry and very hoppy and very very morish. I don't care what some of the snobby "beer police" think its a great beer. |
