Evening Session very busy, great atmosphere plus a great young Spanish band playing.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Oakham - Citra | 4.20 | | Came on late, light refreshing with pungent grapefruit |
| Ilkley - Joshua Jane | 3.70 | | Immense flavour, rich and hoppy |
| Dark Star - Hylder Blonde | 4.20 | | Just got one of the last pints boo hoo, but still as good as the first. I could drink this all night if it lasted long enough |
| Dark Star - Revelation | 5.70 | | Came on late, this beer is still a revelation! |

17:00 visit. Steady sort of crowd in and eight decent ales noted. With Pedro regaling us with his beery exploits of the last few days, I say is it no wonder I choose to be a non-imbiber these days.....
