Very quiet Bank Holiday Monday, early lunchtime session.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Milestone - Crusader | 4.40 | | A near black, porter style beer with plenty of chocolate malt and roast barley tastes. So clearly not 'Crusader' - unless the recipe has changed radically. |
| Vens - Gold | 4.00 | | Easy drinking, malty, golden bitter. |
| Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Courage Best Bitter (use Marston's entry now please) | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Tring - Colley's Dog | 5.20 | Not Tried |

A good Friday night crowd in and the beer is flowing.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vens - Suze V | 4.20 | | A kind of Essex Brown Ale – well-balanced, mellow and nicely hopped. |
| Tring - Mortain The Thief | 4.00 | | Chestnut-coloured bitter, sweetish malt, but quite well-hopped with bitter Phoenix hops. |
| Brentwood - The Baldy | 3.80 | Not Tried | House beer brewed by Brentwood for this pub. |
| Cottage - Hornet | 5.00 | Not Tried |
