Purity Pure Gold
Purity Mad Goose
Purity UBU
Red Cat Scratch
Red Cat Prowler Pale
Wild Weather Cry Of Upstarts
Beat Ales Raver
Kelham Island Zombies Of The Stratosphere
A reduced list as I'm currently in a cycle of lots of work and little play, next day off is the 7th of Oct.
The Wild Weather effort was good, I was hoping the Kelham beer would be as interesting as it's name, It wasn't.
BOTW is Purity UBU in absolute sublime condition taken in a pub 10 minutes walk from my doorstep. (half an hour back).

More well-kept beers than not this week, even amongst the nationals on the list (the GK Starry Night at Bicester's White Horse was surprisingly good, although the Ghost Ship at the George Tavern in London was dreadful). This week's rosette goes to something that isn't my go-to style of beer, but again goes to show you what wonders well-kept beer can have on your palate: there was a hint of sweetness within the bitter taste - not sure on the name of the beer though...
