Just a couple of visits to the JDW London festival so all cask beers were £1.99 :-

Park Killcat Pale 3.7%
Redemption American Brown 4.0%
Enefield Iron Brew 4.2%
Reunion True Zeal 4.3%
Sambrook's After Nine 4.4%
Windsor & Eton Hurricane 4.5%
Wild Card Ace Of Spades (keg) 4.7%
Signature Progressive 4.8%
Southwark Chew-Black-A 5.0%

I never thought I would have a pint of Wild Card in a JDW but it was a whopping £3.65 and way too gassy.
None of these were offensive but nothing was really outstanding. I'll go for the W&E Hurricane as tried in the Wanstead George. It also had the best pump clip straight from an Airfix kit!


BOTW Windsor & Eton Hurricane

[oldboots]

Saltaire - Titus
Kirkstall - Pale
Briscoe's - Otley Gold
Black Sheep - Riggwelter
Hambleton - Black Forest
Roosters - First World Problems
Thornbridge - Rocky Road Lucaria
Wensleydale - Falconer
Strathaven - Winter Glow
Eagles Crag - Eagle of Darkness
Nightjar - Sasquatch
Salamander - Piccolo Porter
Nine Standards - Porter

Oddly a toss up between a dark and a light but the Salamander Piccolo Porter just has it over the Wensleydale Falconer.

Oakham - Citra.*
Acorn - Gorlovka.*
Ilkley - Gregory.*
Salt - Alpaca.
Wilde Child - Outside The Box.
Rat - Mother Rat.*
North Riding - Citra.*
Wild Weather - We Bring Scientists, You Bring A Rock Star?
Yorkshire Dales - Blue Scar.
Helmsley Brew Co. - Yorkshire Legend.
Sunbeam - New Dawn.

Both the Citras were excellent, but I was in the mood for dark beers this week. The Mother Rat, a milk stout, just pipped the Gorlovka, an old favourite. Sampled at The Hop (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/66330/), Wakefield.

[london calling]

Botw was
Marco Paulo-American pale ale 5.5 superb beer but I was p*ssed off at paying £5 for a cask beer brewed feet away from the bar in the Owl and Pussycat Micropub.I should have taken note of the price before I bought it.

[Real Ale Ray]

Papworth - Big Slur in this quirky micro The Little R'Ale House (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/84963/)

[Thuck Phat]

Not bad:

Marstons Old Empire IPA*
Everards Sunchaser
Abbeydale Moonshine
Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Titanic Plum Porter*
Brancaster Oystercatcher*

Any of those starred were worthy BOTWs but this weeks BOTW goes to Marstons Old Empire IPA for being so easy to drink at 5.7%. Dangerous.

[Bucking Fastard]

Very late submission from me due to an escape to the sun after a very modest week.

Marstons -- Old Empire IPA * (>3PT)
Everards -- Tiger

BOTW also goes to Marstons Old Empire IPA beautifully kept and a regular ale in The Boat Inn (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/30251/).For some reason you rarely seem to see it in Marston's houses which is a shame.

You do in some but you're more likely to bump into it in a JDW.
