It's a fantastic view and the pub is quite and your served at your table so all good for covid distancing.... Great pint too
I went up the pub last weekend. Really nice. All the customers were at tables in their large beer garden. One-way system - in the front door, past the bar, out the back door into the garden, down the side passage back to the front. Worked well.
After a really disappointing stout from bath ales I've moved on to @samale dunkel.
Pours well, he did let me know he was disappointed with the carbonation so I gave it an aggressive pour, good head which dies away relatively quickly. It probably could do with more carbonation but I think it's fine.
Aroma, fruity, definitely a twang of soft fruit, I completely forgot that the dunkel I brewed was a dunkel weizen so I expected banana/clove and the aroma threw me at first. Complements the beer well.
Taste, I have to say at first sip I felt that it was perhaps lacking a bit of body however 1/4 of the way through the glass and I'm definitely getting more body and a nice strong though not overpowering malty taste. Very nice.
I'm not an officianado of the dunkel, would I drink this beer again, yes. But I'd like to try another dunkel to compare. It's a good beer, no doubt well made and I'm sure to the style it is meant to be.

Another pint of my 6.9% Mosaic ale. I‘m feeling this already and the night is still young. 
I may have to switch to a lower alcohol beer or
will be asleep by 9:00!

Tonight I am drinking a Single Hop Mandarina Bavaria beer. Probably used all 100g of it in the following Grain Bill:
Maris Otter 5kg
Light Crystal 480g
Wheat Malt 240g
MJ Liberty Bell pitched 4th April 2020
Very solid beer, nice almost almost fruity taste. Aroma is virtually zip. Light copper sort of colour.

Good holiday so far with a good mix of doing stuff and relaxing. Not yet braved any pubs yet though.

Drinking my Ekuanot & Galaxy Pale..this is one of the last bottles left. Don't think it tatse's anywhere near as nice as it was from the keg..I had bottled a few to share and clear the keg for another beer. Think it's been in the bottle over a month and on its way out I think..purged the bottles and then filled with my picnic tap/counter pressure DIY thingy..

Several pints of mediocre Guinness at my local, followed by a couple of Galway bay beers and then topped off with miller.

Cheers dude. I am in the same boat, I have never even tasted one before. It has a lot of first's for me. First time making a starter and using liquid yeast. First time brewing at lager temps and using temperature control fridge.
The beer itself is still young at just over 4 weeks. To me it has a nice clean profile with a good balanced malt flavour. Hopefully it develops more.
Thank you for the review, I just popped one in to chill to try again

Galway bay have done nice beer. Which did you have
Is that pub the sea view Fuzzy
A pint (ok, several pints) of my magical 'will not clear' Kolsch. It's nice, the Hallertau Blanc hops are ok but I think they would be better partnered with another hop. They just seem a bit one dimensional. I'm thinking they could shine replacing Saaz in a historical Saaz / British hop combo recipe. Am messing about on brewfather as I type.
