Crowded, with a mixture of beer pilgrims and those gathered here for the live music. One or two already heading towards “casualty” status at 7pm.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Great Heck - Golden Bull3.80ExcellentPale and very well-hopped. Sharp.
Great Heck - Brave New World4.00AcceptableA very pale beer with a heavy, US, citrus hop flavour. But not much else.
