Can at the Sweet Pea Kitchen, Bradford on Avon. Yellowy-gold with a light fizz and a thin white head thay swiftly fades away. Watery from the off. Sweetcorn and a little lemon. Some nice floral notes in the aftertaste fail to compensate for the sweet, flabby malt and the thin body. It's not horrible, but it certainly needs to be a bit crisper and hoppier to achieve anything.

IPA Sans Alcool from Brasserie Cambier

5.4/10 — Appearance 5 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 5 Overall 5.5

Can from Biere des Halles, Lille. Deep gold with a thin white head and a light fizz. Hints of weed in the aroma; flavour is sweet marmalade and malt. Maybe a tad too sweet, it could do with some hop crispness in there. The body lacks a little something, but it's not too bad by the standards of NA brews. Overall it's... inoffensive I guess?

Cheese & Wine Emporium

4.6/10 — Setting 4 Selection 6 Service 3 Food Value 5 Overall 5

A very tourist-focused shop mainly selling those rubbish blended & flavoured waxed cheeses. They also sell some other gift foods, plus there's a booze section that in addition to a wine & spirits room has a rack of about 40 beers. The producers include Thornbridge, Buxton, Flash, Titanic, Eyam, plus some "comedy" brews and Clarkson's bloody Hawkstone crap. Prices are a tad on the high side but there is a discount for buying 4 beers. Service was slow and barely polite, but I guess I'd be like if I spent my day giving samples of crap cheese to loud, pushy coach tours. So, not a great place but you might pick up something new and local if you're lucky.

It's definitely worth the 5-10 minute stroll from the station or town centre to visit this brewpub. There's a more drinking-oriented area at the front, with a more eating-oriented area round to the left - although outside of peak dining times you're free to drink or eat anywhere. There's also a pleasant-looking garden out the back. There are 7 cask pumps - on my visit these featured 3 from the in-house brewery Moot, plus seasonals from Weekend Project, Thornbridge and Twisted Barrel, with Bass as the only permanent ale. The kegs are purely macro and faux macro. You can buy bottles of their own beers to take away too (when available). They have various events on; we were there on a Sunday so partook of the Sunday Roast carvery, which I have to say was one of the best I've had. As young people sadly don't seem to do the whole Sunday lunch thing, the clientele was quite elderly on our visit, but when we passed later in the week the pub seemed very popular with all ages. The staff couldn't have been more friendly, whilst the prices were average for the area (so quite cheap for us southerners!). A great pub; I'd definitely go back if I was in the area again.

Nigredo from J D Wetherspoon

6/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 6 Flavor 5.5 Texture 7 Overall 5.5

Mahogany coloured with a beige head and a light fizz. Sweet black coffee, fake chocolate flavour, some dusty wood. A light roasty bitterness and some rosemary in the aftertaste. It's ok, but sadly I'm finishing on the worst of the 3 fest beers I've tried today.

Crimson Legend from Brains

Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Glowing deep copper with an off-white head. Strong raspberry flavour with toffee behind. Sweet up front with a mild, slightly minerally bitterness in the finish. After a promising start it finished being rather average and maybe a tad too sweet.
