Sadly this pub closed just a few days after my visit. Just me and a couple of locals in on a Saturday lunchtime before the post football rush.

Much improved mild, now losing the dry cardboard malt taste and having a more rounded and sweeter caramel malt taste. Just a little dryness in the finish. My score 15/20.
