Certainly the best quality kept beer of the week was the half of Harveys Sussex Best taken unexpectedly in The Black Prince, not my beer style of choice but so good I was compelled to score it NBSS 4.5 ( is there any real discernable difference between 4.5 and 5 ?). However earlier in the week and much more my particular bag was Iron Pier Joined At The Hop Mosaic & Ernest also in bang on condition on cask in The Ten Tun Tap House and this weeks BOTW.

All starred were good but I'll ring the changes and make BOTW Brancaster Best. A session ale with a hint of citrus. Not sure if it deserves the Best title at 3.8% but it hit the thirst on a hot day.
