Friday lunchtime session with Andrew
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pig & Porter - Ashburnham Pale Ale | 3.80 | | Gold copper colour lasting white head. I quite like it a simple well put together. Good beer |
| Allendale - Golden Plover | 4.00 | | Hazy gold lasting white head. Soapy hoppy beer. It’s ok some interesting hop flavour. Some kind of antipodean hop I guess. Interesting |
| Backyard - The Hoard | 3.90 | | blond harsh beer good condition though |
| Long Man - Sussex Pride | 4.50 | | Toffee bitter |
| Treboom - Yorkshire Sparkle | 4.00 | | Decent golden ale. |
| Wantsum - One Hop Amarillo | 4.50 | | Hoppy golden bitter |

Hot day. ...but efficiently run entry this year. It's a big shed with beer. Good fun. Got a little bit tipsy.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pig & Porter - Crab & Winkle | 3.00 | | Light musty grainy and nice |
| St Peter's - Best Bitter | 3.70 | | Umm. Reedy metalic and refreshing. |
| Hastings - Hastings Blonde | 3.90 | | Elderflower and hint of manderine |
| Spencer's - Galaxy Golden Ale | 4.70 | | Nettley light bitter |
| Pig & Porter - Ashburnham Pale Ale | 3.80 | | Light coloured with some body |
| Caveman (latterly a cuckoo at Leatherbritches) - Palaeolithic | 3.80 | | Nice body of rye-like. Mellon and grapefruit. |
| Goacher's - India Pearl Ale | 5.60 | | Rough mouth. Nettle, alcohol. No Goacher's core flavour - which isn't surprising. |
