On the way home from work and quiet enough at 7:30 to bag one of the comfy seats.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arbor Ales - SMAC in Black | 5.80 | | A citrus fruity, roasty, sticky Black IPA. |
| Mornington Peninsular - Sorachi | 5.20 | | On keg dispense. Described as a Kőlsch, but not much like anything I remember drinking back when I used to visit Cologne. Pale and cloudy. Lovely lemony-sherbet flavours from the hops. |
