21 Jul 2011 (Martin the Mildman)
Very busy and rather boisterous early on a Thuirsday evening with some patrons asked to leave by the management.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weltons - Ace Ale | 3.70 | | Pale gold and fairly bitter with moderate hop character and some malt balance. Rather dry, bitter finish. My score 14/20. |

2230 and the bar "rammed" here tonite. And the Cider fest in full swing with 7 on, all served straight from the box/barrels in the fridge. No mediocrity tonite?
