| Coors - Mitchell's & Butler Mild | 3.40 | | Brewed at Highgate these days. This sample was red coloured and quite sweet and fruity with a malty background and low hopping. My score 16/20. |

| Adnams - American Style IPA | 4.80 | | Good effort with good citrus hop character and some malt character too. Purists may say it's not hoppy enough, but it works for me. My score 16/20. |

| Warwickshire - Berry Nice Beer Yule Enjoy | 4.20 | | Doesn't live up to the name, no fruit flavour at all, just a dry, flat malt taste with a bitter aftertaste. My score 12/20. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Wheat Beer | 4.10 | | Cloudy wheat beer in German style with a slightly sour taste enhanced by spicy hop flavours. Not my type of beer at all, but probably a good representation of the style. My score 9/20 |

| Adnams - Abbey Ale | 5.00 | | Second in the continental series, this is Adnam's take on a Belgian Tripel style beer. A little too sour and yeasty for my taste. My score 12/20. |

I have no idea why I have never been in this pub, I mean I have walked past it enough times. On the corner on the way into Borough Market. Quite attractive inside, but does get busy and the service is not what I would call "fast."
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Kolsch | 4.20 | | OK, forget that this is supposed to be a Kolsch. Having been to Koln, this isn’t even close. But as a golden ale, it is pretty decent. Gold, thin white head. Drinkable enough for a light tasting beer with some ok yeast character, some odd peach fruit on the flavour. Good as a beer, but not as a Kolsch. |
