13:50 Complete contrast to the previous pub. Traditional interior, good selection of beer and no intrusive music. Fairly quiet. Introduced the bar staff to the delights of pubsandbeer.co.uk.

Started off really well but like so many of these straw coloured hoppy beers there wasn't much flavour left halfway down the glass.

My second pint in this style today and I feel I’ve certainly reached my caffeine limit. Black, roasted, full of coffee.

trong red style ale with toasty malt offset by good citrus hop character. My score 15/20.
Mad Squirrel (formerly Red Squirrel) - Red Dawn Mild
3.70
Red/brown mild with a dryish malt character, low hop rate leading to a dryish finish. My score 15/20.
The pub is found in Turnham Green, Greater London, W4 1LW.
Large multi-roomed pub with theatre attached. For a while branded as a Taylor Walker pub. Interesting ale policy with local beers featuring as guests alongside the pubco regulars.
We have visited this pub 5 times, seen 21 different beers and tried 8 of them.
