| Orkney (Sinclair) - Corncrake Ale | 4.10 | | Surprised myself and really enjoyed this. Perfectly clear, sparkling condition, good depth of flavour and bitterness. |

Very quiet on this early evening visit. Bar staff thought £3.80 a pint was OK 'compared to Peroni'. Couldn't say I agreed.
Disappointing how much poor quality ale is being served in Aberdeen these days.

| Houston - Austr-ale-ia | 3.80 | | Competent, lightly hopped (galaxy and summer) golden ale. Served refreshingly cool. £3.70. |

Very quiet. Single pump "Waiting for beer to settle" ie no ale at some significant cost to the bar - we left.

Quick beer whilst waiting for lift. It had to be one pint for at £3.70 a pint I wasn't for lingering.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inveralmond - Independence | 3.80 | | Dark golden malty, flinty ale typical of Inveralmond's house style. Not really to my taste. |

I stood outside this pub for about forty minutes waiting for a bus to Banchory. It did not turn up so I popped in here and watched it go past as I enjoyed my pint. Bar staff were excellent, and best of all, here I was well North of Watford and NO SPARKLER, excellent!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deeside - Talorcan | 4.50 | | A really tasty dark chocolaty beer. |

We'd popped in for a beer and a bite to eat but with ale at £3.40 a pint we supped our halves and went home. For us at least a point of price resistance had been found. The bar was nearly empty, incidentally.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deeside - Brude | 3.50 | | This had improved since last sampled. Firm malt body and some hint of fruity hops. Let down by phenolic overtones in the finish. |

Very quiet.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Houston - Peter's Well | 4.20 | | A tad green this was much lighter in colour and hoppier than I remember it. Malt added little to flavour. Even checked the cask to ensure it was Peter's Well - it was. |

Very quiet early evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Houston - Texas | 4.30 | | Poured a beautiful dark mahogany with a long lasting tight white head. Initial hints of fruit gave way to a malty taste with little evidence of hops. Short finish. |

The pub is found in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, AB10 6NW.
Busy suburban hotel in Aberdeen's West End in Great Western Road. The nautically themed Lounge Bar is split into drinking and eating areas.

We have visited this pub 10 times, seen 11 different beers and tried 9 of them.
