Early evening and busy as usual. Glass topped up without asking.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fyne - Jarl | 3.80 | | Uncompromisingly bitter and hoppy but lacking a little body. Maybe I quible. |

The pub is found in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, AB11 6BA.
Long, narrow single roomed bar in Union Street, with very strong local trade. Usually three ales available plus an excellent selection of single malts. On CAMRA's National Inventory - have a look at the plaster work above the gantry. Bought by McGinty's Group in early 2019.
We have visited this pub 51 times, seen 60 different beers and tried 26 of them.
