Round Three

08/02/2016


9. The Admiral Codrington, Mossop Street.

Tucked away in a residential street. The admiral himself peers across the lounge wishing he himself could try the latest tipple. Comfy, warm, a bit like your nans front room that hasn't been decorated since the 80's.

Beers:

Upham Brewery The Tipster - pale ale, lingering bitterness, spiky finish, mild citrus.

Upham Brewery The Punter - pale brown, oaky finish, not too strong flavour, mild fizz.

8. The Star Tavern, Belgrave Mews West.

Now a cosy and inoffensive pub with a fireplace, the Star once was the notorious meeting place of criminal gangs such as the great train robbers.


Beers:

Fuller's Honeydew - honey golden, sweet smell, sweet taste, sharp, pleasant, little fizz.

Fuller's Front Row - golden brown, no distinctive smell, flavour dulls quickly, nutty.

7. The Punchbowl, Farm Street.

A long narrow pub sandwiched between taller buildings. A bit of a joker. Displays classic art alongside the more avant garde. An enjoyable public house with character.


Beers:

Punchbowl Pub The Punchbowl Ale - dark blood red, smells sweet, stouty, thick, starts bittery then becomes smoother.

Caledonian Deuschars IPA - Amber, sharpish, mildly bitter, crest at the end.
