I’d managed to forget my last, rather unfavourable, visit here and braved Thursday night crowds for a couple more Wetherspoon festival beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caledonian - Trojan Horse | 5.50 | | Having heard that this beer had been voted by some panel or other as the ‘Beer of the Festival’ I was keen to try it. A bit disappointed though. It is a somewhat under-hopped Black IPA. Still good though. |
| Woodforde's - Tundra | 4.60 | | A very pale gold ‘White IPA’. Clear, dry, some hop character. |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Banks's - Ringwood Fortyniner | 4.90 | Not Tried | |
| Otter - Bright | 4.30 | Not Tried | |

| Nelson - Mutineer's Revenge | 5.00 | Not Tried | |

A crowded Wetherspoon pub. I don’t know if I looked particularly suspicious this-evening, but I was required to pay up front, before my pint was pulled. I don’t recall the last time this happened to me in an English pub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upham - Fields of Gold | 3.80 | | A golden beer. Hazy, verging on cloudy. Chilled to the point of tastelessness. |
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |

Mid-evening. All tables taken in all rooms of this large pub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wild Weather - Howlin' Gale | 3.90 | | A very dark brown-coloured Mild. Lots of roast barley and an underlying fruitiness. |
| Arundel - Black Stallion | 3.70 | | A dark brown, fruity, traditional Bitter. |
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |

I met up here with a crowd from the local CAMRA Branch who were embarking on a five or six pub crawl around the Island. I don’t have the stamina for that, but would do a couple. Quite busy in here, with most on the terrace outside. £2:45 a pint. A DJ was starting up as it reached time for us to move on.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burton Bridge - Golden Flame | 4.50 | | Pale, with some half decent hops and a touch of apple. |
| WharfeBank - Golden Pursuit | 4.00 | | Gold/amber in colour. Quite dry and bitter. |
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |

I imagine my first time impression of this place is totally different to that of the city's afterwork drinkforce. Can imagine it gets uncomfortably busy in here of a summer evening. As it was we headed down on a Sunday at sunset and were served with good beer and decent food promptly and professionally. Being in the midst of the International Real Ale Festival, pints were £2.19 - a fair bit cheaper than normal I'd wager but still at the very top end of JDW's festival price range. I was astounded to be confronted by 18 handpumps AND a two-tier stillage beside the bar housing all of the foreign festival specials. Jackpot!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marston's - Sinebrychoff Porter | 6.20 | | Love this. Impenetrably black, huge thumping great dark malt hit, fruitcake and hard liquor palate and brutish hop finish. |
| Flying Dutchman - Wit Bier | 4.50 | | Brewed at Caledonian. Very pale, sweet with orange and coriander spice. Really light and downable - excellent example of the style. |
| Palm - Steenbrugge Blond | 6.00 | | Imported from Belgium. Orange-gold with a tea leaf aroma and initial tea palate, then a bombardment of clementine fruit and mulled spices. Really impressed! |
| Titanic - Velvet Curtain | 5.00 | | Was expecting great things and surprised by Ian's previous disappointment. Black with sweet vanilla pod nose, tart bitter stout approach with creamy choc and vanilla flavours building. Good but, yes, a little synthetic. |
| Springhead - Another Bite of the Cherry | 4.50 | | Refreshing, bitter with a hint of cherry fruit, not overpowering. Pretty good. |
| Banks's - Yukon Brewing Lead Dog Ale | 5.50 | | Toasty malts, bitter liquorice finish. Not wholly dissimilar to Sneck Lifter I thought. |
| Robinsons - Nosey Parker | 3.80 | | Bog standard brown ale. |
| Vale - Edgar's Golden Ale | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| St Georgenbrau - Kellerbier | 4.90 | Not Tried | |
| Brains - Dark (aka Red Dragon Dark) | 3.50 | Not Tried | |
