Ran into ChrisE here. Unfortunately I happened to have the last of the Westerham Uppin Smoke. I spent 90 mins going through some Scoopgen yahoo group threads and amazed at the number of new London breweries.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Westerham - Uppin Smoke | 4.00 | | Yep, this is a smoked beer made in Kent and tasty as hell. |
| Brains - SA Gold | 4.30 | | I saw that I'd really liked this before so tried it again. More malty and less hoppy than when I had it before. OK. |
| Brewster's - Pandora | 4.80 | | Just not my thing but in good condition and perfectly fine. |

It rained. It was a Saturday afternoon and seriously, I really had nothing better to do. They have had a number of Nelson beers in recently, but pleased to see on this visit that Westerham were coming back.

| Westerham - Uppin Smoke | 4.00 | | It's a lager. it's smoked. What's not to like? Loved it. Good mouth feel, good condition. The smoke is a little smoked fish and a tad woody, but decent. I drank two pints of it and wondered where it had gone to. Will come back for an aperatif for Sunday lunch. |

| Westerham - Alt Ego | 4.00 | | Superb, the only problem there was only just about one pint in the cask, they just about filled my glass and offered to change it if it was not alright. I enjoyed the beer, and decided to go home. |

I had been to Wilkinsons to buy some homebrew stuff and it seemed rude not to have a pint.

Jaipur Jaipur Jaipur. Tried to get the concept over to the staff that I wanted them to order this beer again. Not sure I was 100% successful. They didnt seem to understand that someone could love a beer so much.

I aspied Mr Excell entering the pub just as I was locking up my bike. So we got a couple of pints and sat and chatted about beer and places visited and plans for the future. I very enjoyable early evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hook Norton - Flagship | 5.30 | | Its too sweet. Too much unsubtle alcohol..Lots of english hops on finish. Not great |
| Everards (see entries against Joule's & Robinsons whilst its new brewery was being built) - Whakatu | 3.70 | | Not enough hops, not enough malt for a backbone. Needed more of everything in my opinion. Bit of yeast character on the aroma. |
| Thwaites - Daniel's Hammer | 5.00 | | Bit of yeast character which is quite strong. Cant decide if I like it or not. Lots of yeast character. Hmmmmm. Ok just |
