3.3/5. Bar Maid said it was probably the end of the barrel but it’s great. Cask Ale with Washington Hops. Think the rain has stopped.
-
Talon APA - Loddon - 5.0% ABV. B+, not sure what to say about this. There’s a slightly odd fruitiness, in fact it is completely odd. However, a grower #ale #beer #bier

$umo - Mad Squirrel - 4.7% ABV. B++, don’t tell CAMRA. Hoppy, gently fruity, tingly on the tongue with a hint of spice in the finish #ale #beer #bier
3.5/5. Spoons Craft on Keg in a wonderful branded glass too. Really sunny out now and it matches this Fine Ale wonderfully

Game On - J W Lees - 4.2% ABV. B+, maybe it should have rested for longer? Pleasant, malty and gently hoppy. A January pint. #ale #beer #bier
3/5. Three Cask Ales on the bar and all at 4.2% ABV. Good for a session but bad for diversity. Thinking about the year ahead.
