Redemption - Urban Dusk4.60GoodRipped to shreds through a tight sparkler - I was going to send it back as murky but it took 3 minutes to clear then OK. Odd way to serve a southern ale

Literally last knockings (11.58pm) visit until close. Denuded real ale range.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%)3.40GoodHonestly bordering on a 4 - perhaps only my prejudice of the brand's ubiquitousness holds me back from the higher mark. Perhaps 99p a pint makes it fast moving but was a great clean well condtioned bitter that was simply gluggable
