| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ilkley - Ruby Jane | 4.00 | | Perfectly drinkable if a little tired. |
| six°north - Gatherum | 4.30 | | Ill defined session IPA. ABV not noted. Interesting, a house beer more expensive (£3.85 vs £3.70)than other, stronger micro beers on offer. Staff did not know why nor did they know what a Gatherum was. Does anyone? |

Busy. Mostly local trade. Foster dog, Bruno, didn't settle so had to sit on the harbour wall. Oh, hardship.

Perfect spot when it's hot and sunny. Beer list disappoints again.

Busy - mostly local trade.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Siren Craft - Suspended in Sabro | 4.00 | | Great 'new' hop in an ultra-hazy beer. Easy drinking but with a depth of flavour. |
| Box Social - Setting Fire to Sleeping Giants | 3.50 | | This didn't quite work. Interesting but with an astringent finish. 2* maybe. |
