| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Festiv'Ale | 3.80 | | Pale and hoppy beer with tropical hop fruitiness evident. Quite sweet with a fruity finish. My score 15/20. |
| Kent - Pale | 4.00 | | New strength from its new home and an excellent pale ale. Slight sulphour on the nose, then an explosion of citrussy hops with some malt balance too. My score 16/20. |
| White - Franklin's Original | 3.80 | | Quite a malty brew with a good biscuity malt flavour. Some hop and fruit in the finish. My score 15/20. |
| York (now brewed by and at Black Sheep) - Long Daze | 4.30 | | Quite bitter pale ale with good hop bitterness. My score 15/20. |
| Plassey - Gertie Sweet New World Pale | 3.90 | | Brewed by the former Hanby brewer at Plassey, this is a well balanced pale bitter with a good bitter hop character. My score 15/20. |
| Rother Valley - Exit | 5.70 | | Strong bitter with a rather dry, fruity flavour, leading to an appley aftertaste. My score 14/20. |
| Ridgeside - Desert Aire | 4.80 | | Strong golden ale with an assertive dry, citrus hop character. A little too dry and bitter for me. My score 14/20. |
