A rapid pint before boarding a train to Harwich (well, Manningtree to start with). No time to make a full list of cask beer availability.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nottingham - Rose's Oatmeal Stout | 4.80 | | This was a really nice pint that I would like to have savoured rather than bolted down. |

28 Mar 2017 (Stephen Harris)
In here on the way home from a business trip to Hertfordshire and intending to have a go at the current Wetherspoon festival list. Sticking with the halves.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daleside - Thai.P.A. | 4.00 | | Pale gold and fragrant. Almost overpowering initial lemongrass flavours. But very nice once you’ve adjusted to it. |
| Butcombe - Union | 4.80 | | A golden beer with plenty of NZ hop flavour. A touch of sweetness. |
| Exmoor - Exile Urban Fox | 4.20 | | Amber-coloured, malty, but also well-hopped. Bitter finish. |
| Hook Norton - Amarillo Gold | 4.70 | | Golden, dry and fruity. Fell flat very quickly in the glass. |
| Elgood's - Thin Ice | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Titanic - Cappuccino | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Saltaire - New World Red | 5.20 | Not Tried | |

It appeared to be the calm after the storm in here, with much clearing-up going on at 7:45, large football crowds having departed to tonight’s match at the Olympic Stadium. The pub is in the midst of an internal refurbishment.

I was passing through Liverpool Street and had a need to use the facilities here. Paid my ‘toilet tax’ by buying two halves of festival beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Otter - Fusion | 4.80 | | A full-bodied brown beer with a good hop presence. |
| Caledonian - Devils Backbone Bravo Four Point | 4.00 | | An authentic APA taste, but didn’t quite work for me. Good hops, but overall effect spoiled by soft mouthfeel and a lingering lemon-peel taste in the finish. May not have been in the freshest condition though. |

Mid-evening and still busy in here, to the point that I was only able to record the beers on the left hand bank of pumps.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caledonian - Rare Red Rye | 3.90 | | Dark red/brown in colour. Rye spiciness. Good hops. Not bad at all. |
| Caledonian - Heineken Flying Dutchman Spiced Ale | 4.40 | | A golden beer. Heavily spiced and smells great. Indian, rather than Christmas, spices. |
| Wychwood (now brewed at Banks's) - King Goblin (superseded by 6.6% version) | 6.00 | Not Tried | |
| Shepherd Neame - Fork & Brewer Low Blow | 4.70 | Not Tried |

17:00 Just time to tick a festival beer before getting the train back to Diss. Absolutely wedged so I only noted two beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Sixpoint Bengali (previously Bengali Tiger) | 6.40 | | Superb beer. Six hops, Cascade, Centennial, Chinook, Columbus, Galaxy and Simco. A good balance of resin and citrus. |

19:45 Having landed at Tower Pier after passing under Tower Bridge, which opened especially for the Waverley, we came here for a meal. Very busy but we managed to find a table upstairs so I only noted the beers at that bar.
