The fire was roaring away. Not too full either. Lovely.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Wife of Bath's Ale | 3.90 | | Just the right temperature. Stunning leafy, grapefruit hop and subtle malt combination. Just such a great beer. |

Sat with Ian on the sofa by the jukebox and was occasionally bumped into by some Scottish gents at the bar.

| Abigale - Samphire | 4.10 | | The condition was okay but it just didn't taste like Samphire. It was dusty tasting and too warm. |

Busy outside the pub but lots of free seating inside. Ian and I sat at the back and drank beer - because that's what pubs are for.

|---|---|---|---|
| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Wife of Bath's Ale | 3.90 | | Excellent beer this but served too warm again. Ian's pint of Dr Sunshine was about 4 degrees colder than mine. Drop the temperature and it would have been outstanding. |

Just sat outside the pub and had the one pint on this lovely stretch of road. We would have stayed longer but on a day like that a beer garden beckons.
