A very sociable week, this week, involving a major crawl round Wakefield with 'trainman' on Friday and a gentler version, on Sunday, with 'oldboots'. Some good beers tasted, but several shockers on the quality front. Contenders:

Ossett - Silver King.
Maypole - BXA.
Northern - Two Tone.
Bobs - White Lion.
Fernandes - Jackdaw MILD.
Potbelly - Captain Pigwash.
Great Heck - Chamberlain.
Fernandes - Brock Bitter.
Blue Monkey - BG Sips.
Goose Eye - Chinook.
Fyne - Piper's Gold.
Salamander - Wild Joker.
Moorhouse - APA Special.
Jennings - Cocker Hoop.
Timothy Taylor - Landlord.
Clarks - Westgate Gold.
Black Country - BFG.
Clarks - Amber Leaf.
Two Roses - Chinook.
Banks & Taylor - Edwin Taylor Stout.
Great Heck - Famous Five.
Fernandes - Top Notch.
Fernandes - Great Northern.
Partners - Agatha.

The 'Two Tone' nearly had it for the second week running, but the 'Famous Five' was a prickly, grapefruity, hoppy delight and just shaded it.
