York Trip

Barnard Castle

This time I am doing the reviews in the order I had the beers.

Jennings, Cross Buttocks Ale from England

4.5% deep amber colour with a good head, malt aroma, smooth bitter malt taste. I like most Jennings beers and this one was very good, I had it in the The Coach and Horses.

Ringwood, Old Scrumper from England

4.0% amber colour with a good head, soapy phenolic aroma, dry bitter citrus hop taste, it was better than it sounds.  Another one I had in The Coach and Horses, I also had Hobgoblin and Banks Bitter in there.

Mithril, Route A66 from England

4.0% gold colour with a good head, citrus aroma, citrus hop taste. The A66 is a cross Pennine route, it runs from Grangetown east of Middlesbrough in North Yorkshire to Workington in Cumbria, Had this one and the rest in The Well Inn.

Wylam, Dognobbler from England

3.9% gold colour with a good head, malt aroma, citrus malt taste.

Mithril, Flower Power from England

4.3% amber colour with a thin head, flowery hop and malt aroma, some caramel in the taste.
