I got here Sunday evening as I had a conference at Stansted airport the following day. It took about 40 minutes to drive to the airport from here. My room was above the bar, clean, basic, but worth the £27.50 I paid for B&B. The bar was fairly busy with locals recovering from the rigours of St Patrick's Day, the night before. I tried the Delvin End Smiling Moose as well. Landlord in the morning was friendly and provided my breakfast.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Archers - Tinderbox | 3.90 | | Clear orangey/gold colour with thin disappearing white head. Cheesy hop aroma. Some citrus, some minerality. Some malt juiciness in mouth. Finish has some tangerine juice and it’s really a very pleasant session bitter with very nice tangerine/orange fruit juice on finish. Some dryness too. |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | | Crystal clear chestnut colour with lasting beige head. Caramel and yeasty flavour. A bit of vanilla caramel flavour in mouth. Fullish in mouth. Decent lick of drying hop on end. Faint tingle on tip of tongue. Little bit flabby. Not exciting, but competent and well served. |
