3pm. Empty.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shepherd Neame - Master Brew Bitter | 3.70 | | Completely devoid of the overbearing yeast hit that plagues it in East Kent. Hoppy. |
| Shepherd Neame - Amber Ale | 4.50 | | Actually tasted some malt! An attempt clearly made to give the beer some balance. |
| Shepherd Neame - Whitstable Bay Organic Ale | 4.50 | | A bit tired |
| Shepherd Neame - Spitfire (or Spitfire Amber Ale) | 4.20 | Not Tried |

Mid-afternoon visit and the pub is quiet. A small group of office workers are firing off occasional e-mails on their Blackberries to give the impression thay are at work. Exterior redecoration is in progress and has reveled glazed tiles on the ground floor fascia with “TRUMANS –TOUT ------ER”. I remember a time when one of the gaps was filled with the word ‘MILD’.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shepherd Neame - Early Bird | 4.30 | | Very short measure. Amber-coloured and quite pleasant, with nice hop flavours. |
| Shepherd Neame - Master Brew Bitter | 3.70 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Aldgate, Central London, E1 8AZ.
This pub was present by 1869 and was rebuilt in its present form in around 1880. Traditionally this was a Truman’s Brewery house, passing to Scottish & Newcastle and acquired by Shepherd Neame in 2004. During the 1980s and 1990s there was a very large extension into the former office premises next door. This is now lost and operates as a very successful restaurant, leaving the pub as a much smaller, two-bar establishment, with a pleasant and unexpected rear garden.
We have visited this pub twice, seen 5 different beers and tried 4 of them.
