Nice 2 roomed pub found about 10 minutes walk from the University. The beer was a revelation; I've not had beers that taste like that since the early 1990's. Can't put my finger on what the flavour reminded me of but I thought I knew UK beers pretty well and, to my knowledge, there are any other beers that taste like these. Not sure if I liked them or not but they were certainly interesting.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steamin' Billy (contract brewed by various) - Bitter | 4.30 | | Sandy brown, very distinctive tasting bitter. Reminded me of a Belgium Whit beer. Sweet, fruit cocktail flavours and peach juice. Takes some getting used to but nice. |
| Steamin' Billy (contract brewed by various) - Skydiver | 5.00 | | Mid brown, and tasted of Marigolds. |
| Steamin' Billy (contract brewed by various) - Billy the Kid | 4.20 | | Light brown. Perfumed, wood polish, wood resins, marigolds. Reminded me of Newquay Steam Bitter. |
| Everards (see entries against Joule's & Robinsons whilst its new brewery was being built) - Sunchaser | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
