Royal Oak Traditional Bitter

This will be a short post as this beer was off and I sent it back! Royal Oak (5.0% abv) is brewed by O'Hanlons and is supposed to be a nice bitter - ours was sour though! I had high hopes as well as O'Hanlon's Yellow Hammer which I had earler in the year is awesome.
Its a shame to see beer go to waste like this - and there were a lot of people drinking "poofters mouthwash" - oops I mean Peroni. This is the first and hopefully last dodgy pint I will have in The Castle.

Yellow Hammer

Pressing on with our pub crawl Rich and I decided to decend upon the Old China Hand. This pub used to be an Irish bar, but it has recently been refitted to be a trendy pub that serves good real ale (and a good international bottle selection) and dim sum. The beer of choice here was O'Hanlon's Yellow Hammer (4.2% abv) which is a light session ale and was very tasty. Things were getting on by this time in the evening and we were starting to get a bit tipsy so good beer judgement started to be impared! I would really like to get back to this pub soon for a proper session and a feed as it would be an awesome afterwork/early evening venue.
