Despite being in soon after 11am on a Saturday morning the place was already fully seated.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revolutions - Atomic Blonde | 4.50 | | Some hop bitterness but little malt character and a dryish appley taste of acetaldehyde. My score 12/20. |
| Andwell - Ding Dong | 4.50 | | Didn't work for me, too overspiced with something seasonal. Couldn't really make out what was lurking underneath. My score 11/20. |
| Brains - Captain Cat | 4.20 | | Some bitterness and a little yeastiness but little hop character to speak of. Some fruit in the finish. My score 13/20. |
09 Dec 2012 (Philip Pirrip)
Arrived 2230 hours as time bell rang. Madness to close this busy house before the day had even properly truly begun.

| Itchen Valley - Junga | 3.90 | |

It was only just after 10.00am and I was the second customer, the place soon became reasonably busy with people having a beer accompanied by a full English breakfast. I had a couple of pints before catching a train to Kensington Olympia for the Great British Beer Festival.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sunny Republic - Beach Blonde | 3.70 | | A light refreshing ale, a good start to the day. |

03 Mar 2012 (Martin the Mildman)
Busy on a Saturday afternoon - standing room only.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elgood's - Black Dog Mild | 3.60 | | A good sample of this classic East Anglian mild. Black and malty with caramel and liquorice notes, low hoppiness and some fruit in the finish. My score 15/20 |
09 Feb 2012 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leeds - Midnight Bell | 4.80 | | Excellent sample here with a full bodied rich chocolate malt flavour and low hop bitterness in this dark brown strong mild. My score 16/20 |
17 Nov 2011 (Martin the Mildman)
Still busy here at 10pm on a Thursday evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acorn - Sorachi Ace IPA | 5.00 | | Strong amber bitter, quite bitter but not much flavour from the Sorachi hop fortunately. As it's a brew for Nicholson's the hop rate was probably lowered. Still has a bitter finish. My score 13/20. |
22 Sep 2011 (Martin the Mildman)
Very busy on a Thursday evening with no seats available.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cropton (see also Great Yorkshire) - Red IPA | 5.00 | | As it says, a Red IPA, very bitter with high hop bittering. Little malt character. Very dry and bitter finish. My score 13/20. |
