Farily quiet on a Tuesday early evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crate - Stout | 5.70 | | Excellent full bodied stout with plenty of roast malt flavours with hints of coffee and dark chocolate. Some fruity hop in the finish. My score 17/20. |

Busy Friday evening, with many customers on the decking at the rear on a hot evening. The fall of the Trinity meant they had just one real ale available.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| London Fields - Pale Ale | 3.70 | | Amber/gold in colour. Sharply bitter. In very good condition here. |
| Flying Dog - Doggie Style | 5.50 | | I accepted a half of this US keg beer when the Trinity ran out. Chestnut coloured, underwhelming hop character. Bit of toffee. |
| Redemption - Trinity | 3.00 | Not Tried | Ran out just as I was waiting to order one. |

A few drinkers and early diners in late afternoon on a Tuesday.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ilkley - Rhubarb Saison | 5.90 | | Not really my style of beer, but this hazy pale/golden ale was well brewed. Quite bitter with citrus hop notes and a yeasty dryness in the finish. My score 14/20. |

Fairly busy late on a Saturday afternoon.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hackney - Golden Ale | 4.00 | | A well balanced dark gold beer with good all round flavours and a easy drinking character. My score 15/20. |
