Lunchtime session for six of us - tried hard but we couldn’t drain the Summer Lore. First ones in, last out. Good session, in the rain we weren’t moving.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gritchie - Summer Lore | 3.60 | | Good citrus notes and very moorish. |
| Potton - Lowlands French Ale | 4.00 | | Unlined but reasonably clear, dry but rather thin taste. |
| Tiny Rebel - Strawberry Milkshake | 4.20 | | Had a taster of this but too like an alcopop for my taste. |

Early evening visit, my second one here. Lovely jovial atmosphere here with a churn of locals whilst we were sitting, watching and occasionally participating.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Iron Pier - Bitter | 4.00 | | Good enough to god back for a second one. Old fashioned English mid-brown bitter, once a staple for us all |
| Cellar Head - Spring Pale Ale | 4.20 | | Hazy, tasty but average, needed more condition |
| Peerless - Mocha Matari | 5.00 | Not Tried |

Tuesday lunchtime, we were the only customers at first but a few others drifted in later. We had a very good chat with the owner and stayed for longer than originally planned.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Mosaic Pale Ale | 4.10 | | |
| Angels & Demons (also uses McCanns branding) - Panama Jazz | 4.80 | | The landlord told us that the cask label said Angels and Demons whilst the pump clip said McCanns, as this was on gravity dispense he used the name on the cask label. An excellent brew however. |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | Not Tried |
