Sampled Adnams Abbey Ale 5.0% in the Sal last night. Normally a fan of Adnams but this one was simply too sweet even for my taste. Previous to that Batemans XB ...always reliable.

Later in Cask Corner, Vale Black Beauty 4.3% and the interstingly named (but not to my taste) Doctor Mortons Cat-A-Tonic 4.3%.

Finally tracked down Jaipur 5.9% Pale Ale in the Victoria in Leeds. Deserves its reputation IMO.

Sounds like another convert to the best IPA on the market

Tangs of grapefruit ... a rare beast to find.

Jaipur is a favourite of mine. It's a regular guest ale at Keighley's Wetherspoon's and the Lord Rodney.

I had a couple of pints of Black Sheep at Cougar Park last night, rather nice.

Then to celebrate our result went back in to Keighley and had cracking pints of Timothy Taylor's Golden Best and Dark Mild.

It is wonderful. If you've not tried Ilkley Brewery Lotus Pale Ale (5.6%) you're in for a treat.

Not in The Volunteer I'd wager? Went in there after the Bulls friendly a few weeks back. Golden Best was vile.

Sampled another of the Toad brews 'Malted In Black' 4.2% in Cask Corner on Tuesday evening along with a couple of pints of the ever-reliable Tadpole.

Finally managed to seek out a pint of Marston's EPA too (in the Goose).
