Very quiet, almost embarrassingly so, on a Monday evening. Some very saucy music videos being played on the TV in the main bar area.

Brew Wharf - Heirloom-AK4.40GoodBased (very loosely I think) on a 1930s Whitbread recipe. Described as a light mild – smooth malt with very bitter hop overlay from Northern Brewer and EKG.
Brew Wharf - Nick & Nate's IPA6.60GoodThis beer must have used up the entire contents of the Brew Wharf hop stash. A great hoppy aroma, big hop taste. Hops, hops, hops.

Brew Wharf - Heirloom-AK4.40AcceptableBrewed to a 1930s Whitbread light mild recipe but increased in strength and hop content. It reminds me of regional brews such as McMullens AK, M&B Brew XI, Bass 5 Star etc with that bready malt and appley fruit taste. Not particularly mild or pleasant. My score 14/20.

Brew Wharf - Single Hop - Dana5.50AcceptablePale ale that is a touch too bitter for me. Dry, citrus flavours dominate with high levels of bitterness. My score 12/20.

Unusually quiet in here and Robert and I had the rare privilege of seats and a table in the main bar area. Some building work at the front seems to be putting people off from coming in. Worth noting that CAMRA members get 40p off a pint in here.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Brew Wharf - JP's Oatmeal Stout5.80ExcellentA full-on, roasted oatmeal stout.
Brew Wharf - Single Hop - Dana5.50ExcellentA well-balanced, golden bitter with initial, pungent hop (Exstra Styrian Dana, from Slovenia) leading to a balanced finish. Seemed to fall flat quite quickly in the glass.

Brew Wharf - Bentinck K-505.60AcceptableSupposedly a French farmhouse style beer, this was a strong black ale that couldn't make up its mind what it was. There was malty bitterness, not much hop chararcter and a very dry finish. My score 13/20.

BeerABVScoreNotes
Brew Wharf - Kiwi Fruit4.50ExcellentExcellent pale hoppy beer packed full of tropical fruit and citrus flavours. Quite bitter but balanced by juicy fruit sweetenss that carries through to the finish. My score 16/20.
Brew Wharf - Stellar5.00AcceptablePale strong bitter with a very bitter hop charcater from a new Australian hop. A little too harsh and bitter for my taste. My score 13/20.

BeerABVScoreNotes
Brew Wharf - Son of Sand4.50AcceptableVery bitter golden beer. Very strong hoppiness with lots of citrus flavours. A little too harsh for my taste. My score 14/20.

Brew Wharf - Yellow Brick Road5.00AcceptableAmber in colour, very hoppy and bitter with a sharp, dry finish. Not really to my taste but well brewed. My score 14/20.

BeerABVScoreNotes
Brew Wharf - Space Invader4.00ExcellentStuffed full of Galaxy hops giving a huge depth of fresh citrus hop flavours with some mango and peach thrown in for good measure. Lingering citrus finish of orange and grapefruit. My score 17/20.

Mid Afternoon, very quiet. £2 a half pint.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Kernel (The Kernel) - Kernel & Brew Wharf Collaboration4.50ExcellentOn pump clip as "Collaboration Pale Ale".
Brew Wharf - (with Saints & Sinners) Full English Oaked IPA5.60GoodWith no frame of reference for an "Oaked IPA" I have to say this wasn't quite to my taste, but maybe it's the best of its style?
