Quite a mixed bag but BOTW goes to ELB Bow Creek on NBSS 4.5 form in The Dove (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/25056/).A best bitter ,well hopped and balanced the name comes from a tidal creek unnavigated by myself but now on the "To Do" list next time I'm on London's waterways.

Next week much calmer

Not bad:

ELB Bow Creek*
Saint Monday West Coast IPA* (keg)
St Austell Tribute
Adnams Jester
Titanic Chocolate & Vanilla Stout
Aylesbury Brewhouse Calico Jack's Port Royal Return*
Oakham Bishops Farewell*

Like the skipper I enjoyed the ELB Cow Creek and Calico Jack's Port Royal Return, a (very mild) coconut stout improved with the drinking.

BOTW was Saint Monday West Coast IPA. A 6.9% proper west coast IPA which, despite being on keg, was neither too cold nor too fizzy.
