Lunchtime, and the Sov has joined in the Real Ale Festival at last.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| WharfeBank - Spring Hop | 4.30 | | I could drink a lot of this, light gold, with a good hoppiness. |
| Wolf - Tasmanian Wolf | 5.00 | | Very nice, favourite of the ones tried. |
| Caledonian - Brewer's Passion | 4.60 | | I found this a little too sweet for a higher mark. |
| Everards (see entries against Joule's & Robinsons whilst its new brewery was being built) - Corfu Ionian Coffee Porter | 4.50 | | Not convinced by this, found it rather heavy going. |

Lunchtime. The slow start here continues with just one new festival ale added. This apart, the selection was identical to yesterday's offerings.
