Perhaps my expectations were raised by how the Red Lion can serve its cask in such hot weather. This came across to me as a bit of sour hopping and bit too warm which if cooler would (might) have balanced out the sourness of flavour

Price up to £4.50 for this stout. Great condition but a tad too warm for a higher score.
A small corner pub on a hill, West Cliff Road, not far from the town centre. It has a rather rambling interior with the main seating area raised above the bar floor and a basement seating area too. Glorious stained glass street windows. 6 handpumps on the bar counter enhanced to make 9 in 2022.
We have visited this pub 527 times, seen 414 different beers and tried 323 of them.
