    Red Cat Scratch
    Long Man American Pale Ale
    Three Castles Firestorm
    Mad Dog Orange Cargo
    Newby Wyke Banquo
    London Beer Lab Mosaic & Equinox*
    Fyne Ales Cardinal
    Ilkley Hanging Stone*
    Waen Chilli Plum Porter*
    Siren/Hoppin- Frog 5 Alarm*

    A difficult choice, the London Beer Lab Mosaic & Equinox was very good but the two latter beers on the list managed to use a difficult ingredient beerwise(chilli) very well indeed, both were excellent, but the Siren collaboration really nailed it . BOTW is Siren/Hoppin Frog- 5 Alarm weighing in at a sturdy 7.4%.

    Kent
    Kent-Session Pale Ale 3.7%abv. A welcome chance to revisit this previous BOTW.Delicious. Marmalade. A modern Kentish classic.My BOTW.
    On the bottled front I particularly enjoyed Harvey's Prince of Denmark, a beguiling as sin stout.

    I'm a big fan of the Salopian brewery but their Lemon Dream isn't one of my favourites. It was spot on in the Wolverhampton Great Western at £3.00.

    A 4.6% Autumn, amber, spiced ale which delivers a sufficiently bitter and moreish finish to demand another. Three pints? No problem.

    Truefitt - Holgate.*
    Nethergate - Black Shadow.
    Ridgeside - Stargazer.*
    Bad Co - Smashing Pumpkin.
    North Riding - US Session IPA.*
    Blackjack - Beginner's Luck.
    Exit 33 - Golden Cascade.
    Dark Star - Green Hopped IPA.
    Slightly Foxed - Crazy Fox.
    Fernandes - Malt Shovel Mild.*

    Easy winner was the US Session IPA, brewed with Comet, Chinook and Azacca hops. Great flavour for a 3.8% beer.
