The evening was slowing down for me but felt this pub was still coming to life for the Friday night crowd. 4 doorman on duty - the most I have seen at a single pub venue for a very long time if not ever.

BeerABVScoreNotes
Bath Ales - Ginger Hare3.90AcceptableAmber beer with quite a strong ginger flavour, a little too intense for my taste. My score 12/20.

Two visits saw a quieter morning then much busier on a Friday afternoon with 2 festival beers having changed.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Lees (see also JW Lees) - Super Nova3.50ExcellentThis is I suspect another dry hopped version of their mild, so a dark, malty base with a little hoppiness to balance things out. My score 16/20.
Bath Ales - Hefeweizen Hare4.70AcceptableVery pale, almost clear wheat beer, fairly sweet with a slightly sour and spicy taste in the finish. My score 14/20.
