Green Duck Dakota*
Purity Longhorn IPA (keg)
Everards Old Original*
Ossett Excelsius*

Really enjoyed the Dakota but it was pipped by BOTW Ossett Excelsius. A 5.2%, beautifully balanced, pale ale with British malt and cascade hops creating a very smooth, easily drinkable and moreishly bitter belter.
