Quiet. Price hike to £3.90 for cask.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moor - Illumination | 4.30 | | Strange. A bitter with more than a hint of saison. |
| Moor - Stout | 5.00 | | Unusual. A stout with a burnt, slightly acetic tone. Is this what the brewer intended. |

What could be better than sitting in the sunshine by the harbourside.
Only cask beers noted. Six other six d. north kegs available.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| six°north - Gatherum | 4.30 | | Acceptable pale ale. |
| six°north - Ticket Collector | 5.00 | | Murky mid-brown and unremittingly sour. Barman agreed it was sour and replaced with good grace. Bar Manager said it was a kettle sour and supposed to taste that way! If so why was it badged as an IPA and have no dimension other than sourness? |
