Marble - Pint (was 3.9%)3.40ExcellentFirst day on pump and excellent condition. Just a pity it has been ABV dumbed down just for duty savings
Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur5.90GoodOn a few days but not much loss of character

Howling Hops (Brewed at Hackney Wick) - Single Hop Pale Series No. 4 Centennial4.80ExcellentThe only cask on - I do not normally try murk beers so a bit of a distress purchase but this was powerfully hopped and excellent

After midnight early morning visit until close. Quite raucous here still with some of the landlord's pals inside and standing outside under the awning away from the torrential rain. An Orval bottled nightcap provided final closure.

Anspach & Hobday - The Ordinary Bitter (was 3.7%)3.40Not TriedAs an aside had a taster, odd rubber like nose to it, suspect will be off sale soon

BeerABVScoreNotes
Villages - Bumps Golden Ale4.20AcceptableNew cask on - poured flat and stayed flat. No natural carbonation, nor extreme citrus. A beer that was a bit of a chore to drink. Suspect problem is Villages not a very good cask brewer
