Late evening 10 mins to go before 23.00 closing, half a dozen or so finishing up as I arrived so just in time for a swift one before catching my train home.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - No. 6 Blonde | 4.10 | | Peaty dry and oaky straw coloured beer. Would've been a 4* if not served ice cold |
| Kirkstall - Black Band Porter | 5.50 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Boleyn Bitter | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Gyle 500 | 7.10 | Not Tried | |

Sunday evening quiet session.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cromarty - Happy Chappy | 4.10 | | A pale golden, US-style Pale Ale. Tropical fruit and citrus flavours from the hops. |
| Tap East - IPA | 6.00 | | Good to see this back on the bar. And it's tasting great. |
| Tap East - Weizenbock | 7.10 | | From keg dispense. Strong and full-flavoured. But lacking head retention. |
| Gun - Project Babylon Pale Ale | 4.60 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - No. 6 Blonde | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Boleyn Bitter | 3.80 | Not Tried | |

Friday night. A bold pub mouse ran over my foot at one point.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bristol Beer Factory - Subtropic | 4.40 | | Full tropic. |
| Tap East - Experimental: Small Smokestack | 4.40 | | Whisper it, but apparently this was a missbrew of the usual Smokestack Porter, coming out understrength. It has all the smoke but less of the umph. |
| Tap East - Tonic Ale | 3.00 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - No. 6 Blonde | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Boleyn Bitter | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Saltaire - Titus | 3.90 | Not Tried |

Mid-evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - Gyle 500 | 7.10 | | The penultimate cask of this strong, spiced Milk Stout has been released -the last one is being hoarded until Christmas. It is now fantastically mellow and the cardamom flavour in particular has developed. |
| Tap East - East End Mild | 3.50 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - A.P.A. (American Pale Ale) | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Boleyn Bitter | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Experimental Table Beer | 2.60 | Not Tried |

Mid to late evening visit.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Three Sods - Maelstrom IPA | 5.30 | | Very strong sour hop bittering, amazingly dry to the palate but it needed more condition to make if more palatable |

Late afternoon. Pub is in shoppers' refuge mode.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shiny - Happy People | 4.20 | | As much as I've enjoyed my first two beers, it's great to follow them with one that's brimming with good hops. |
| Bristol Beer Factory - Lost in Belgium | 4.60 | | It certainly has a Belgian yeast flavour. Spicy and dry. |
| Three Sods - Autumn Amber Ale | 4.90 | | A good, traditional Bitter. |
