Kent:
Sole pub beer of the week- Wantsum Single Green Hop Ernest 4.2%abv.I'm usually a bit wary of single hop beers, as the base beer seems to be rather one dimensional in order to show off the hop.As I hadn't seen any Kent Green Hop beers this season, and as I've enjoyed Ernest hops in the past,I tried it. OK, but have had better.

A better than previously imagined week.

Elland Road Trip
Cross Bay Sunset
Three Castles Stoned
Ascot Gold Cup
Peerless Langton Spin*
Wantsum Black Prince
Disruption Long Walk Thru Eden*
Sherfield Southern Gold
XT 3*
Little London Warhorse
Downlands Little Tiles*
Siren Suspended In Galaxy*
Double Barrelled Exit Pursued By A Bear*
Flowerpots Perridge Pale*
Castle Rock Harvest Pale

Some very nice beer , keg wins the day this week with BOTW Downlands Little Tiles excellent in The Ten Tun Tap House.

[Bucking Fastard]

Digbeth,Preston Bagot and Belgravia.

Salopian -- Light Fantastic * (3PT)
Siren -- Soundwave IPA * (keg)
St Austell (for Brunning & Price) -- Traditional
Timothy Taylor -- Boltmaker *
Church House --IPA (keg)
Harvey's -- Sussex Best
Adnam's -- Ghost Ship *
Greene King -- IPA


BOTW goes to Salopian Light Fantastic,a perfect session ale in the very friendly Spotted Dog

Next week looking barren.

A bit of overlap with Mr. F's list:

Salopian Light Fantastic
Siren Soundwave IPA* (keg)
Timothy Taylor Boltmaker *
Church House IPA* (keg)
Blue Monkey Infinity*
Oakham Bishops Farewell*

Thoroughly enjoyed the Infinity which, as ever, whistled through the 3 pint test but BOTW goes to Timothy Taylor Boltmaker which I rarely encounter and which really hit the spot.

Could be better;

Bad Seed - Session IPA
Bristol Beer Factory - 12 Apostles
Theakston - Best Bitter
Marstons - Razorback
Hambleton - Nightmare Porter
Saltaire - Triple Chocoholic
Rat - White Rat
Camerons - Motorhead Roadcrew
Elgood - Plum Porter
Northern Lights - Blonde

I suppose having lost count of how many pints of it I had last week BOTW is Hambleton - Nightmare Porter (again), taken in what appears to have become my new local.
