Hopcraft -- We Come In Peace
Hopcraft -- Profit of Doom *
Torrside -- I'm Spartacus *
Hopcraft -- West Side Oak *
Buxton -- Nippy Sweetie * (keg)
Greene King -- "Hardy & Hanson" Kimberley Bitter
White Horse -- War Horse
Slaters -- Western APA *

Loose Cannon -- Recoil *
Marstons -- EPA
Ramsbury -- Gold (bottle)
Stonehenge -- Danish Dynamite * (3PT)

Little Ox -- Wipeout * (3PT)
Fullers -- "Gales" HSB *

Lots of quality but the standout BOTW was Torrside I'm Spartacus on immaculate form in the Cask.A 6.8% complex IPA,multi layered and if ordered at a busy bar later in the evening it can elecit a predictable chorus.

Next week includes a trip to the Nags Head in Reading and footie so there should be a strong list.

A very decent week with some familiar names from above:

Birra Moretti
White Horse War Horse
Slaters Western APA*
Titanic Plum Porter*
Animal Ostrich*
Marstons Shipyard APA (keg)
Ramsbury Gold (bottle)
Stonehenge Danish Dynamite*
Mr Grundy Bullet
Little Ox Wipeout*
Oakham Bishops Farewell*

Enjoyed the Ostrich and the Wipeout especially but BOTW was Slaters Western American Pale Ale. A good example of the style and very welcome on a warm day.

Reasonable week for me.

Oakham - Citra.
Yeovil - Lynx Wildcat.
Adnams - Mosaic.*
Titanic - Chocolate & Vanilla Stout.
Great Heck - Treasure IPA.
Ilkley - Crossroads IPA.*
Tiny Rebel - Morning Glory.
North Riding - US Session v32.
Welbeck Abbey - Let's Get Fiscal.
Five Towns - Owt'll Do.*

The winner is a strong mild, with a hint of rum. Drinks a lot better than it sounds.
