Not busy but with Mario behind the bar and 2 Oakham beers on I was very happy and Schlenkerla Lagerbier. Lovely.
Oakham - Bishops Farewell | 4.60 | | So drinkable its untrue and the tangerine flavour is amazing |
Oakham - Summit | 4.20 | | Unbelivably good and hoppy |
Dark Star - Hylder Blonde | 4.20 | Not Tried | |

Met some great people here. Sim popped in from Ratebeer and met the brewer from Brewsters who was on his way back to Grantham. Good visit
Oakham - Tranquility | 6.50 | | Not my favourite Oakham beer. Yes the intense tangerine is good but I find it sticky and a bit syrupy |
Anglo-Dutch - Old Staff | 4.20 | | Good flavours just not in best of condition. Good character though |
Anglo-Dutch - Kletswater | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

Day 2 of a West Country beer festival with beers stillaged on the terrace.
Coastal - Handliner | 4.00 | | Good hop character to this amber bitter. Full flavoured with a dry hoppy finish. My score 15/20. |
Jollyboat - Freebooter | 4.00 | | ABV shown as 4.8%. A darkish strong bitter with hoppy bitterness and some tart dried fruit in the finish. My score 14/20. |

Oakham - Amarillo | 4.20 | | Very pale and hoppy with lots of citrus flavours and a tart finish. My score 16/20. |

Ascot - Harvest Ale | 4.40 | | Dry, bitter and hoppy amber ale that is not really to my taste. My score 13/20. |
21 Sep 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
Oakham - Akenhatan | 4.90 | | Very pale and very hoppy, full of fruity citrus hop flavours. Good malt character keeps the bitterness at bay to give a very pleasant beer. My score 17/20. |
14 Aug 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
Very busy with market visitors on a Saturday afternoon.
Oakham - Citra | 4.20 | | Superb very pale ale bursting with pungent hop aromas. The taste is full of fruity citrus hoppiness with good malt balance. The best example of this hop in a single hop beer that I have sampled. My score 17/20. |
24 Jul 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
Salopian - Blackwater Reggae | 4.30 | | Hoppy dark amber beer with a crisp citrus hop flavour. My score 15/20. |
29 Jun 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
Hardknott - Dark Energy | 4.90 | | Dark brown porter style beer with a fair bit of bitterness but a full bodied malty taste as well. My score 15/20. |
05 Jun 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
Burton Bridge - Walker's Way | 4.50 | | Usual flavours from a Burton Bridge seasonal, peppery hop and dry malt to give a bitter beer without much depth of flavour. My score 14/20. |
