A very unusual red IPA with a great kick. Needed 2 ice to get it to an acceptable temperature though.

Went for breakfast at spoons on a hot morning for Lynnes birthday. However the beers were totally uninspiring. So to the Artillery for a much better selection.

Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - She Sells Sea Shells

Perhaps my expectations were raised by how the Red Lion can serve its cask in such hot weather. This came across to me as a bit of sour hopping and bit too warm which if cooler would (might) have balanced out the sourness of flavour

A small corner pub on a hill, West Cliff Road, not far from the town centre. It has a rather rambling interior with the main seating area raised above the bar floor and a basement seating area too. Glorious stained glass street windows. 6 handpumps on the bar counter enhanced to make 9 in 2022.
