Late evening visit across midnight.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - She Sells Sea Shells | 4.70 | | 2nd one was glorious, odd how changed in 20 minutes. This held superb head, lacing and enhanced bitterness. Almost as if cask had been changed |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - She Sells Sea Shells | 4.70 | | First one held little head or lacing. Tasty though |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Banks's - Wainwright | 4.10 | Not Tried | Badly and misleadingly displaying a Thwaites pumpclip, yet Thwaites sold the brand some years ago. Poor show |
| Portobello - Central Line Red | 4.40 | Not Tried |
