Quiet:two beers.
Old Dairy- Red Top 3.8% abv.Good depth to this best bitter.
Shepherd Neame- Talleyman's Special.4.5%abv. Sheps' Green hop offering. At first I thought it was just another dullish beer from Sheps, but persistance paid off, and I found it fresh and full of flavour. Have yet to try any other gha, though. My Botw.

Plenty of hoppy beers this week and very nice they were but 2 old favourites stood out
Brodies - London Fields at the Cross keys Covent Garden was sure to win on Sat but
Darkstar-hylder blonde was unbeatable at the Magpie and Crown Brentford on Sun
Do you agree that it's a genuine low ABV Black IPA? It had all the aroma and taste of the style in my book. I thought the brewery tasting notes were very vague, as though they didn't want to admit to jumping on the "craft" bandwagon.
I still can't believe it was brewed by Banks's, although I have never had an issue with their cooking bitter and mild.
The perverse thing is that if the clip had mentioned Banks's I would probably have gone for the Adnam's Old!
Being in Banks's country, I have had the Black Diamond a few times - i just find it an OK drink. My new beer of the week has to be Dorothy Goodbody Autumn Delight.
MILD:
Hard work picking this week with none of the beers I tried having the full WOW factor, although several were min the good category.
BOTW is Dark Star Indian Summer IPA. Passed the 2 pint test, but I didn't want a third, just too strong and hoppy/bitter.
