Sat at the back near, but not under, the Fremlins window. Sat down with my pint and Velvet Underground came on the jukebox. Great jukebox here.

Love this pub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Wife of Bath's Ale | 3.90 | | Superb beer. Less toasted-nut today (which was a shame) and more juicy-fruits in the grapefruit hop bite (which was different). |

In Canterbury for a bit of Christmas shopping and dropped in here for lunch. Fair few sat round the bar and a few tables eating.

|---|---|---|---|
| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Wife of Bath's Ale | 3.90 | | Finally I can see what everyone has been raving about, the last couple of times I've tried this it's been far inferior. Really drinkable, fruity ale. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Dark Conspiracy | 4.90 | | Not the best condition I've had this beer in, but it was still a nice pint. |

Came in search of Wife of Bath. Ordered it but then changed my mind when I saw the Gadd's.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Dark Conspiracy | 4.90 |  | Good condition but woah, what is this! Cough candy and tar combo. So thick it crawled out of the glass itself. |

Early evening and most people were sitting outside.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Wife of Bath's Ale | 3.90 | | This would have been outstanding if it wasn't for it being served far too warm. Real shame. |
