| Cairngorm - Black Gold | 4.40 | | |
| Kent - Going for Gold | 4.40 | | Fantastic, could have been 5*. Just a little bit on the chilled side, a bit warmer and would have been a 5* rating. |
| Orkney (Sinclair) - Raven Ale | 3.80 | Not Tried | Still on, now labelled as having "strong citrus bite". Fortunately my nemesis from yesterday was not to be seen. |

Lunchtime visit.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hawkshead - Cumbrian Five Hop | 5.00 | | |
| Orkney (Sinclair) - Raven Ale | 3.80 | | Horribly sour and clearly off. Was changed after an exchange with the shift leader, but the replacement was slammed down in front of me so it wasn't just the beer that left an unpleasant taste. Complaint fired off to JDW for their comments. Addendum: JDW wrote back and apologised sincerely and passed my comments onto the Area Manager. |
