    London and Essex

    Hardknott-Katalyst 3.8%abv: I approached this with due trepidation,but found, despite the Brewer's contarianism,a reasonably hoppy,modern style pale ale.
    Mighty Oak-Oscar Wilde MILD 3.7%abv: a lovely jet black MILD:chocolatey with a touch of liquorice.
    Mighty Oak IPA 3.5%abv:nutty and hoppy session bitter.
    Vale-Pure Gold 3.9%abv :me-too golden ale.Thin with some hedgerow fruit.
    Truman's -Swift 3.9% Rather nondescript golden/amber ale from the revived Truman's Brewery.
    London Fields-Broadway Belle 5%abv:a 'Californian Pale'.Tropical fruit.
    My BOTW: a close run thing between the Katalyst and Oscar Wilde. After due reflection it goes to Mighty Oak-Oscar Wilde MILD.

    Decent week for me, all bar one tried on my usual Sunday afternoon crawl (Hop, Harry's, Bull & Fairhouse, FernandesTap).

    Cottage - Sunset.
    Fernandes - Malt Shovel MILD.*
    Fernandes - Octohop.*
    Mallinsons - Mount Pleasant MILD.*
    White Rose - Summer Hoppiness.
    Oxfordshire - Sunseeker.
    Fernandes - Bullet IPA.*
    Revolutions - Pretty in Pink.
    Great Heck - Dave.
    Kelham - Easy Rider.*
    Rat - White Rat.
    Liverpool Organic - Cascade.
    Abbeydale - Abbey Ale.*
    Tring - Kiwi.
    Slaters - TopTotty.
    Five Towns - Old Norrell.
    Fuzzy Duck - Mucky Duck.*
    Elland - Ginger Pale Ale.

    BOTW is an old favourite and previous winner. As the name suggests, Octohop is a golden ale made with eight different hop varieties. Incredible flavour for a 4% beer.

    Happened to find a beer festival on in Gent last Saturday; so, without being too specific, it was almost certainly something I had there.

    NB - This is the first beer festival I've been to where something like the 'Rooie Dop 24/7 Session Ale' at 4.9% was in the "Low Alcohol" category!
