Had a car crash into the front of it last week leaving a fair bit of dame. Pub was still open as usual with the same faces inside.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - Yellow Tail | 4.50 | | Very light, hoppy and refreshing. May be my favourite wantsum beer so far. |
| Hopdaemon - Incubus | 4.00 | Not Tried |

Thursdays are like my Fridays these days and I decided to celebrate it here. Really quiet with only 3 or 4 people in which was strange.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Oatmeal Stout | 4.60 | | Gorgeous, perfect condition. |
| Hopdaemon - Skrimshander IPA | 4.50 | | This wasn't good. Condition was fine but it was overpoweringly sweet, neither me or my mate could finish our pints. |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Seasider | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Hop Monster (Georges) - Rochford Banshee | 4.40 | Not Tried |

Had tried the Rose of England but apparently it's closed on Sundays, so dropped in here instead. Around 9pm when we got here and there was a good number of people in.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hop Monster (Georges) - Rochford Banshee | 4.40 | | Very sweet, but once I got over that it was actually a really nice beer. Black in colour with a smoky/fruity flavour. Good stuff, just wish they'd tone down the sugar. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | Not Tried | |

It's been a long old time since me and my friends have had a session in the arty, feels good to be back.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Little Cracker | 5.00 | | Lovely beer. Tastes different to when I had it last a couple of years back. |
| Crouch Vale - Christmas Pale | 4.20 | | Very nice pale ale, typical Crouch Vale kinda flavour. |
| Buntingford - Imperial Black Ale | 5.80 | | Tasty beer, would be fantastic if the sweetness was toned down a little. Still it's a nice hoppy black beer. |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried |

Another post work drink. Really busy for 11pm on a Sunday and thankfully none of the roughians that have been frequenting this pub as of late.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Seasider | 4.30 | | |
| Burton Bridge - Old Expensive | 6.50 | | Sweet, slightly syrupy strong ale. Almost barley wine in flavour, quite nice. |
| Wantsum - Turbulent Priest | 4.40 | | Malty and earthy, pretty good. |
| Triple fff - Alton's Pride | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

I had just been drinking the Dark Star IPA at work so everything else seemed a bit mundane. Really busy to start with before quieting down at around 9.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Rye Pale Ale | 4.00 | | Seemed sweeter than normal, still good though. |
| Rudgate - Marston Moor Brewers Droop | 5.00 | | Weird, but drinkable enough. I noticed I said I wouldn't drink it again 2 and a half years ago, must be slightly better now then. |

Some friends of mine from Finland were over and wanted to visit a real traditional English pub, where better than The Arty?
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hopdaemon - Incubus | 4.00 | | Ever reliable. |
| Wantsum - Turbulent Priest | 4.40 | | A lot better than the first time I had this. Full bodied beer with roasted malt and fruit. Lovely. |
| Tring - Huck Me Buck | 4.40 | | Fruity, malty bitter. Not too shabby. |
| Rudgate - Well Blathered | 5.00 | | Light and hoppy with a grassy floral taste. |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried |

Dropped in after playing some football down the road. Beer line-up was pretty dire and I wasn't too comfortable with the sort of people drinking in here either. Hopefully it's just a blip and the place isn't on the slide.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Springhead - Roaring Meg | 5.50 | | This one's not bad, in fact it was quite nice. Sweet and fruity with just a little spice. Would expect a little more flavour for 5.5% if I'm going to be critical. |
| Loddon - Ferryman's Gold | 4.40 | | Sweet and slightly buttery. My tastebuds must be changing because I found this too sweet today. |
| Triple fff - Stairway | 4.60 | | Not bad but not that memorable. A little dusty with some fruit, pretty boring beer in my opinion. |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Burton Bridge - Stairway To Heaven | 5.00 | Not Tried |
