Late evening visit and good music from the Altantic Currants in full swing.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Teignworthy - Googly Ale | 4.60 | | Another new ale and top class. |
| Cheddar - Potholer | 4.30 | | My third decent ale tonite. In good condition. |
| Tonbridge - Blonde Ambition | 4.20 | | A new brewery. Very good, but more pale and hoppy. Perhaps it wants to be a blonde! |
