Came to meet friends. Five of us in the end. The pub was fairly busy with the Beatles and Queen playing on the stereo.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | | This was top notch. Best pint of No. 5 I've had for ages. |
| Kent - Green Ernest | 4.60 | | A nice green hop beer. Pale gold. |
| Orkney (Sinclair) - Dark Munro | 4.00 | | Good body. Black with a decent frothy white head. Tasked low hopped and a hint of sour milk |
| Musket - Flintlock Best Bitter | 4.20 | | A touch flat |
| St Austell - Tribute | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Oakham - Citra | 4.20 | Not Tried | |

Early afternoon and busy with a few at the bar and group of ale drinkers enjoying the variety and quality of ales on offer as one expects here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kent - Old Jamaica | 5.10 | | Ticked all my silky smooth chocolate toffee and vanilla boxes with thankfully just a hint of ginger. |
| Kent - Tropic Ale | 4.90 | | Does what it says on the tin! |

Saturday evening. Nicely busy. Previous landlord and landlady just turned up.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arbor Ales - C Bomb | 4.70 | | Heavy grapefruit. I didn’t drop it (geddit?) |
| Kent - The Quiet American | 4.20 | | Yummy |
| Oakham - Scarlet Macaw | 4.40 | | Was about to leave when I spotted this lurking by the now very busy “landlady’s corner”. Oakham is still going strong thankfully. |

Mid evening. Unusually quiet in here tonight. Just 3 of us in the bar. Good ales, daft conversation. A Ruby Mild on also - not sure whose.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Muirhouse - Big Bertha! | 4.00 | | A really zesty, fruity pale al, sparklingly clear. |
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | | |
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | Not Tried | |

Early Friday evening. A good smattering of people in all areas and plenty of comings and goings as I supped and chatted. This is an outstanding Canterbury pub, good variety of ales on at an average of £4 a pint.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Stan the Man | 4.20 | | First time I’d come across this beer from Gadd’s. Full of flavour and great body. |
| Kent - Prohibition | 4.80 | | Just wasn’t as tasty as the Gadd’s, but a lovely pint nonetheless. |
| Kent - Nah Na Nah | 4.50 | | A tribute to the vindaloo football anthem. |
| Adnams - Southwold Bitter | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
| Settle - Old Smithy Porter | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Skinner's - A Pint of Two Halves | 3.80 | Not Tried |

Evening visit, beer festival - just missed the band who had finished well before the advertised end time of 8. The beers have obviously been going well and only two remained outside with the “reserves” already on inside. Won’t be worth a special visit Monday. Plenty of people inside and out - a good vibe. About 8 ales on in total.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salopian - Oracle | 4.00 | | |
| Moorhouse's - Pride of Pendle | 4.10 | | One of the two beer festival ales left outside. Rather flat and unremarkable. |
