A pub is for life not just for Christmas
Magic Rock - Clairvoyance. 7.2% at the Head of Steam, Headingley.
I popped in and got a half of this. The beer and the playlist (Tom Petty, the Strokes I can recall!) made me stay for a second.
A tour up to Woodies Ale House then Arcadia couldn't eclipse it so I popped back for a third.
And a fourth the next day!

Kent-The Quiet American 4.2%abv. Delicious floral,herbal barley straw pale ale.My BOTW.
