Fairly quiet early evening. Very pleasant atmosphere in the pub. All beers though were about 2 degrees too warm for some reason.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | | Really good. Lovely oaky rich caramel and light chocolate flavours. Slightly too warm but the beer held up well to this. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | | Excellent condition. The slight warmth took a bit away from it making it a bit too syrupy. |
| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - Kentish Best | 3.70 | | Good condition. Rough hops and malt. Touch too warm. |
| Tonbridge - Easy Street Pale | 3.90 | | Excellent condition. Rich hoppy and peppery. But the warmth took a bit off the edge. |
