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 |
