Late Saturday afternoon and there was a decent crowd in especially in the rather nice garden/patio area. Would be one of the pubs I would come back to.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black Sheep - Best Bitter | 3.80 | | Best half of Black Sheep so far on the day. Yeasty aroma, good in mouth and this sharp, peppery hop finish which rips at the tongue. Good half. |
| Hop Back - Summer Lightning | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Belhaven - Caledonian Deuchars IPA | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Adnams - Regatta | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Young's London Special (was Special) | 4.50 | Not Tried |
