Mid-evening and pretty busy.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - East End Mild | 3.50 | | Champion Beer at London Drinker I understand, and I can see why; it’s on marvellous form. Dark, nutty and chocolatey. |
| West by Three - Mango Pale | 5.30 | | Cloudy, pale gold and bursting with mango flavour. Great to see this sort of thing in cask. |

Sunday evening and quiet in here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - Moai | 3.20 | | A revised recipe for this beer, now at a much lower strength. Same fruity and bitter hop flavours. Hazy gold in colour. |
| Dark Revolution - Sonic | 4.90 | | Murky gold. |

This is the sister pub of the Rake, which I had moved on from as it was too busy.

| Tap East - Tonic Ale | 3.00 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - IPA | 5.80 | Not Tried | Currently being brewed to 5.7% |

Mid-evening, mostly standing outside with pint in hand making a long ‘phone call.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wilde Child - Beyond Redemption | 4.00 | | A completely mad beer. Another beer / milkshake crossover. This one tastes of pineapple. I had to have two to be sure I wasn’t imagining it. |

Early-afternoon visit after holiday shopping in Stratford.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wild Weather - Hero Factory Ekuanot IPA | 7.00 | | Very murky gold. A 'New England IPA', with Ekuanot hops. Smooth and dangerously quaffable. |
| Otley - O3 Boss | 4.40 | Not Tried | Must have been one of the final brews. |

After work with a couple of friends.

A mid-evening visit after work.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - A.P.A. (American Pale Ale) | 4.30 | | A reliably excellent pint. |
| Alphabet - Llamaland Strawberry | 5.00 | | From keg or key-keg. A hazy reddish/gold. Shockingly sour initial hit, then full of strawberry. |
| Stone - Little Bastard | 4.70 | | From the keg taps. Cold and fizzy and, to be honest, a bit ordinary. |
| Tap East - East End Mild | 3.50 | Not Tried | |

| Tap East - Smokestack Porter | 6.50 | Not Tried | |

A couple of early evening beers with Terry and Ray before they dash off for a quiz fixture at the Black Bull in Stratford.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - A.P.A. (American Pale Ale) | 4.30 | | On very good form tonight. |
| Vocation - Chop & Change Calypso | 4.50 | | We drank this not knowing the hop variety as the label on the cask had gone missing. Very grapefruity indeed. It turned out to be Calypso. |
| Brasserie d'Achouffe - Chouffe Soleil | 6.00 | | From a keg and nothing like any Chouffe beer I have drunk before. It is pale gold, hazy, and very sharply hoppy. |
| Tap East - Tonic Ale | 3.00 | Not Tried | |
| Arbor Ales - Blue Sky Drinking | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
