Mid evening visit.

Lively for an early Sunday evening with a few tables and seating available. Music being played thankfully unobtrusively allowing conversation to happen unimpeded.
Burning Sky - Aurora | 5.60 | | A resinous mouthfeel, big citrus and tropical fruit flavours, which are prominent, yet well balanced. |
Burning Sky - NZPA | 4.50 | | Refreshingly hoppy pale ale. |
Long Man - Best Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Golden Horizon (collaboration with Lakedown) | 5.00 | Not Tried | |

Evening visit. A really great basic boozer where the ale is always enhanced by the opportunity to people watch. It is real Brighton in a nutshell.
Burning Sky - Aurora | 5.60 | | Aurora in top form |
Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Golden Horizon (collaboration with Lakedown) | 5.00 | | A very full bodied WCPA, one to drink slowly and savour |

Evening visit to a great Brighton pub institution recommended to all visitors. Such excellent behind the bar service.
Burning Sky - Aurora | 5.60 | | Everything good in a strongish ale |
Beak - Ello | 4.50 | | Never sure how to mark a real murk of an ale. Certainly full of flavour and condition |

Evening visit just before a gig started upstairs, hence the time taken to be served, but everyone in strict turn.
Burning Sky - Aurora | 5.60 | | Delicious only to find it usurped by one in The Evening Star, next pub |

Busy upon our lunchtime arrival after which folk soon dissipated and we had the left side bar to ourselves though sadly the loud music made conversation a chore. Think is my first visit - possibly the garish colour scheme now which adorns this pub interfered with my memory banks somehow!
Dark Star - American Pale Ale (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 4.70 | | This was superb - all my APA expectations satisfied.. |
Cloak + Dagger - No Dinner For Old Men | 3.50 | | A complex hoppy brew bursting with tropical fruits with even a hint of Jaffa Cake.. |
Burning Sky - Plateau (was 3.5%) | 3.40 | | Sadly rather watery and lacking body. |
Burning Sky - Aurora | 5.60 | Not Tried | |

Mid evening visit.
Bedlam - Stollen | 6.50 | | Powerful slow drinking brew |

Reunion - Frost Fair | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
Dark Star - Hophead Azacca | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
House Beer - Kissing Coppers | 4.00 | Not Tried | Pumpclip picture celebrates a Banksy mural at one time on the side of the pub. Staff would only say it is supplied by C.O.D. Beers, a wholesale beer delivery business. As mysterious as Banksy himself eh? |
