Back to Durham last night for a pint of Hydes Original in the Head of Steam, which tasted of very little at all. The bar staff are a bit annoying too, having loud conversations about their tats and piercings when they should be serving customers. Shame really because they have the widest range of beers I've seen in such a small pub but I don't think I'll be going back.
Cheered myself up with a pint of Maxim Maximum Speed in the Market Tavern, a trad English bitter and a couple of pints of Adnams Ghost Ship a 4.2% pale ale. From Adnams website, "This beer has good assertive pithy bitterness with a malty backbone and a lemon and lime aroma. Ghost Ship is brewed with a selection of malts – Pale Ale, Rye Crystal and Cara. We use Citra, and a blend of other American hop varieties, to create some great citrus flavours."
Lovely stuff - like drinking pop.
