Kent:

Three Legs-Pale#3 3.7%abv.Exemplary Pale Ale.Citrus with wall fruit on the finish.First time I'd tried this since the brewery's recent move to East Sussex's Costa Geriatrica.My BOTW.

[Thuck Phat]

Short list but quality:

Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Nethergate Old Growler*
Arbor This Time Next Year Rodney*

Enjoyed all 3 with BOTW going to Arbor - This Time Next Year Rodney. A 6%, salted caramel, milk stout which is as rich and sweet as that sounds. A pint went down well on a chilly evening although I'm not sure I'd manage two. My companion likened it to a pint of Baileys and the name just beats the Old Growler for me.

Mallinsons - CF299.
Brew York - Clementine Challenge.
Sunbeam - Dance Before The Storm.

A solid bunch, but nothing particularly outstanding.The Avalanche just nosed it. Taken in Harry's Bar (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/60167/).
