Very quiet on a Saturday lunchtime.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Triple fff - Jabberwocky | 5.00 | | Dark brown strong bitter with a bitter citrus hop character. Some dark malt flavour. My score 14/20 with B for quality as served too cold and lacking condition. |
| Art Brew - Hip Hop Dr Rudi's Super Alpha | 4.30 | | Very pale bitter with a new hop variety. Bitter with some citrus notes. My score 14/20 with B for quality as served too cold and lacking condition. |

Early evening on a Tuesday and the place was deserted apart from two other punters and the staff.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Art Brew - Lemongrass & Bobek | 3.20 | | Very pale and hoppy with a grassy hop flavour. A little sharp for my taste. My score 13/20. |

My first visit to this large pub. No sign of the forthcoming in-house brewery. Although six handpumps held clips, it seemed that only one handpumped beer was available, the others all coming from the stillage to the rear. In all, nine beers were available; I did not note all their names. We tried several between us and overall were rather disappointed with the quality.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| London Fields - Gold | 4.90 | | In good condition from the handpump. A highly hopped, golden ale. |
| Branscombe (was Branscombe Vale) - Mild | 3.70 | | A sweet, black mild. Warm, flat, lifeless and near tasteless from the stillage. |
| Milestone - Classic Dark Mild | 4.00 | Not Tried | I nearly ordered this, but a fellow drinker warned that it was ‘on the turn’. |
01 Dec 2011 (Martin the Mildman)
Scottish ales festival in progress.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orkney (Sinclair) - Northern Light | 4.00 | | Well balanced light ale with some hop bitterness and a little biscuity malt. My score 15/20. |
| Orkney (Sinclair) - Golden Amber (Atlas range) | 4.50 | | Hoppy but well balanced beer that has a dryish hoppy finish. My score 15/20. |
| Adnams - New Zealand Pale Ale | 4.00 | | Good gooseberry flavoured hop notes from Nelson Sauvin hops giving a tart fruity flavour. Dryish, hoppy finish. My score 15/20. |
| Orkney (Sinclair) - Dark Island | 4.60 | | Rather tired sample, roast malt but little else to back it up with a rather vineous finish. My score 14/20 with B for quality. |
| Swannay (formerly Highland) - Dark Munro | 4.00 | | Regrettably this sample was not up to the usual standard, having a tainted flavour of medicinal type. My score 11/20. |
