MOONDANCE @ The Goldsmith SE1
We walked into the pub and it was a good atmosphere, a bit small, a massive sausage fest but nicely decorated. "Homely" Codename B would say, "Bored" Codename T would say. Unlike most of the pubs in London Bridge, it did not smell bad and the barstaff were keen on the constant cleaning of all the wipable surfaces. There were real potted plants dotted around and some nice leather furniture. Quite tasteful. It did give the impression that we, two geeks, were outdside of our economic league. The food menu was excellent and very varied but srsly, can anyone answer what the obsession with baked camembert is?*
THE BEER: Moondance 4.2 % ABV - it's brewed by the Triple FFF Brewery in Hampshire. It won awards in 2002, 2009 and 2010 for being the best bitter. We disagreed:
Codename B : Light, citrus as a first taste and a strong bitter aftertaste. 6/10
Codename T : Sour, bitter, chemical with a trace of spoiled fruit. 3/10
Official description: One of our original recipes, amber coloured best bitter with copious amounts of Cascade hops. Wonderfully aromatic floral nose balanced by a gentle bitterness with a hint of sweetness. No wonder this beer has won the most awards of all the beers in our range.
Perhaps it was the pub? If anyone from Triple FFF Brewery is reading this, please send us a sample of the beer as it should be and we'll gladly retract our negative review. We like free things

PRICE GUIDE: For two pints of Moondance and some peanuts it cost a whopping £8.50. We were way out of our league here. We had an informative discussion regarding processors and graphic cards
Codename T: signing off with much love & power to you
