Bit of variety this week:
Wolf Brewery Woild Moild*
Brown Cow Celestial Light*
Brown Cow Indulgence
TT Golden Best
TT Landlord*
Salopian Hop Twister*
Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Everards Tiger
Some good ones there including the Brown Cow beers and the Landlord but, in something of a departure for me, BOTW was Wolf Woild Moild. At 4.8% it's on the strong side for a mild but isn't overly sweet or malty and has a delightfully dry finish which invites another.

Reasonable week, choice wise, but quite a few dull, or tired, beers sampled.
Kirkstall - Three Swords.
Sunbeam - New Dawn.
Revolutions / Eyes - Weisse Stripes Red Rye Wit.
Camerons - Roots & Fruits. (Nominated for BABOTW).
Spitting Feathers - Thirst Quencher.
Eyes - Styrian Wolf.
Long Man - APA.
Oakham - Citra.
North Riding - Mini Citra.*
Five Towns - Baby Blue.
Thornbridge - Jaipur.
Dark Star - Espresso.*
Another week, another North Riding winner. This brewery is on fire at the moment. The Mini Citra was only 3.7% but had wonderful aroma and flavour for its strength. Fresh as a daisy at Harry's Bar, Wakefield. It knocked spots off the Jaipur, tried in the same session. Not very often I cross swords with 'oldboots', but I was very disappointed with the Three Swords I tried, in the Templar, Leeds, on Tuesday. The condition was fine, but it just seemed to lack the flavour I remembered. The jury's still out, for me.
