28 Dec 2024 (Hogan Sampling)
Time for a curry to soak up those beers earlier and my first visit to this rabbit-warren of a Spoons' pub which was bustling. One in our party kindly saved the rest of us a seat whilst we placed our orders and chose our beers.
Mad Squirrel (formerly Red Squirrel) - Evolve | 4.10 |  | Good head and lacing on this Hemel Hempstead-based bitter. A very creamy head minus the usual lacing. A bitter mouthfeel and lingering and thankfully not sweet and which aided washing down the curry. |
