[Wittenden]

Kent:

Ramsgate Brewery (Gadd's)-Thoroughly Modern MILD 6%abv.Luscious,malty amber beer.More hops than I'd expected tempered the inherent sweetness.Grand. My BOTW.

[Thuck Phat]

Quality:

Brunswick Rocket
Marble Export Mild*
Empire White Lion*
Elland Beyond the Pale*
Durham Bede's Chalice*
Oakham Bishops Farewell*

All starred were good but BOTW has to be Durham Bede's Chalice. A rich, complex, 9% Belgian Tripel which hides it's strength.

[Spinko]

All very mixed around Worsley. (Barton Arms, Bridgewater Hotel, John Gilbert, Worsley Old Hall then back to the John Gilbert)

Thornbridge - Jaipur was on great form in the John Gilbert.
