Late evening visit until close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Northern Monk - Don't mess with Yorkshire Rhubarb & Custard Pale Ale | 4.50 | | Not to my taste as hazy with same old lemon juice beer with flavouring essences |
| Oakham - Green Devil IPA Cask Aged | 6.00 | | Should not be hazy. Others poured earlier were not, but this was |
| Pig & Porter - Caravan (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | | An overly malty ale with an absence of hop bitterness. Little condition which might have carried it off if present |
