A couple of new ones to me in Tut this week;

Greene King Yardbird 4.0% and Purity Wild Goose 4.2% ... both pale but nice enough in moderation.

Pleasantly surprised with Rudgate Lollihop 4.0% (currently on in the Tut n Shive). I generally like the Tockwith Brewery's ales but wasn't sure I would this lemon coloured bitter. However, it turned out to be both full of flavour and very refreshing.

WSB Coco De Mer 4.0% (Chocolate Porter) & Phoenix Black Bee 4.5% in the Gatehouse last night.

WSB is Wood Street Brewery (Sheffield) ... preference however was definitely for the Phoenix Honey Porter .... an excellent brew!

For lovers of Timothy Taylors ales, the one they have brewed for the Tour de France which is coming to parts of Yorkshire this year is very very nice. A golden bitter at 4.5% called Le Champion, extremely moorish I thought.
