Kent, East Sussex:

Goacher's-Real Mild Ale 3.4%abv: In superlative condition. Chocolate, berry fruits with entrancing hop acidity to lead you on.
Long Man-Rising Giant 4.8%abv:Peppery,hedge fruit.Second pint better than first.
Three Legs-Session IPA 4.5%abv: On keg dispense,prefer the cask version.

A restrained week, three good beers and one poor (answers on a postcard).

Marstons Wainwright The Golden Beer
Three Blind Mice The Juice Rocket*
Thornbridge Jaipur IPA*
Thirst Class Any Porter In A Storm*

Top dog is of course the classic that is Jaipur IPA in The Alfred (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/35750/).

Next week brings yet more restraint.

Variety and quality this week:

Barsham Golden Close IPA*
Brancaster Oystercatcher*
Oakham Bishops Farewell*
The Vine Inn Blonde
The Vine Inn Ruby Mild
VOG Brewery The Banana Strikes Back*
Brew York Moo Tang Clan (keg)*
Titanic Raspberry Pale*
Titanic White Star*
Phipps Gold Star*

A lot of stars there and all would be worthy BOTWs.

BOTW Titanic White Star. Haven't had this for a while and I'd forgotten quite how good it is, it simply wouldn't stay in the glass. Quite possibly the best session ale.

This is a great beer and hard to get; I'm not sure if I even saw it on offer at the Royal Blenheim in Oxford over the summer.
