Not very impressed with the festival range here, seemed to be more coming soon than actually on sale.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - IPA Export | 6.00 | | Quite bitter with a dryish, appley flavour and little malt evident. The finish is fairly hoppy and dry. My score 14/20. |
