Another good beer week but I'm going with a repeat of last weeks BOTW Disruption Battle Royale Azacca the same cask from the same pub and I learn't that only two casks were produced, The Alfred got one ,I don't know where the other ended up. I also had the same beer on keg and although very good, the cask version was superior.
It was a close call this week with Wantsum Citra Ass Down (keg) coming a close second.

Kent:another quiet week.
Tonbridge - American Pale Ale 5%abv. A heavy amber APA, long hoppy finish. I tend to prefer Tonbridge's earthier beers.
Burning Sky-Big Easy DIPA 8%abv.A bit out of my comfort zone, but highly drinkable. My BOTW (can.)

Relatively gentle week:

Cans:
Marble Lagonda
Marble Cubbio Damage
Oakham Citra T90

All the cans were good, as ever. BOTW goes to Moon Gazer White Face. Described as a 5% Norfolk IPA and it’s a decent example. Probably the best I’ve had from this brewery.
