Pleasant spring evening sitting in the beer garden. Shame the beer wasn't up to scratch!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Breconshire - Brecon County Ale | 3.70 | | In fairness to this ale, I will have to try again at a different location. This was tasteless coloured water. I do not seem to get on too well with Breconshire brews, but I do try to be objective and I will try again elsewhere. |
| Breconshire - Red Dragon | 4.70 | | In fairness to this ale, I will have to try it again at a different location. This particular pint was just a sweet coloured water! |

Great Sunday afternoon atmosphere, lively conversation.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakham - JHB | 3.80 | | Typically Oakham, wonderfully crisp with the usual citrus bitterness. One of their best. |
| Elgood's - Snakeslayer | 4.50 | | Dark colour with lots of chocolate and caramel. Subtle caramel aftertaste. Well balancrd and smooth. Pleasant drinking |

Very busy Sunday afternoon, great atmosphere. Plenty of good banter.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Batemans - Dark Mild | 3.00 | | Will have to try this again as it didn't quite live up to its reputation. Caramel flavours but followed by slight acidity which spoilt the overall taste. Reasonable body for 3.0%. |
| Otley - Pontypridd | 4.00 | | An odd assortment of smells and flavours. Definite citrus, probably grapefruit, and other tastes and aromas that we couldn't quite pin down. Nevertheless in an effort to try, we went back for another pint. |
| Titanic - Nine Tenths Below | 5.90 | | Lots of nutty flavours and very obviously a powerful brew, but lacks subtlety |

Quite busy tonight, a salsa class in the function room. However, the main lounge was pleasantly busy.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakham - Styrian Goldings | 4.20 | | Light golden in colour with pleasant aroma. Faint citrus taste with a dry finish. |
13 Mar 2011 (Bear & Ragged Staff)
Surprisingly quiet for a Sunday afternoon.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wentworth - Amber Gambler | 4.10 | | One of the oddest beers I have ever tasted. Smoked fish aroma and a smoked fish taste. Fortunately I liked smoked fish. Very strange. |

Akk the regulars in good form.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titanic - Steerage (superseded by 3.8% version - see separate entry) | 3.50 | | Good session beer, nice amber colour, plenty of taste leaving a bitter finish. Can't believe its only 3.5%. Crafted beer at its best. |

|---|---|---|---|

Pleasant, relaxing Saturday evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orkney (Sinclair) - Dragonhead | 4.00 | | Deliciously dark with lots of treacle toffee and burnt caramel. Medium body. Very pleasant. |
| Bradfield - Farmers Blonde | 4.00 | | As I watched this being pulled, I thought 'another beer tickers' insipid blonde pale ale'. Far from it. A well balanced, medium bodied ale with a pleasant citrus taste leavong an arrowroot biscuit aftertaste. Very nice. |

Wonderfully quiet, early spring evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stonehouse - Wheel Tappers | 4.50 | | Not the best wheat beer I;ve tasted, but not bad. Not as smooth as other Stonehouse brews, but has good balance and plenty of flavour. |
| Abbeydale - Dr Morton's Cat-a-tonic | 4.30 | | Neither one thing or the other. Very light golden in colour. Not particularly bitter, light in body and easy on the palate. |

Has the world come to an end, where was everybody? Oh!, apparently all in the top room watching rugby. Nice and quiet.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kelham Island (probably brewed by Thornbridge now) - Baby it's cold outside | 4.20 | | This is one for the beer tickers. Doesn't live up to the propoganda given on the Kelham Island webxite. Weak body, weak bitter taste and unsurprisingly bland finish. Whilst not unpleasant, the real ale drinker deserves more for his hard earnt cash. A mistake not to be repeated. |
