Quick one in passing. Mid-evening-ish. Other beers as listed by PP.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Peverel | 4.50 | | Yummy – just what the doctor ordered. A pale golden ‘Session IPA’ single-hopped with lots of citrusy Mosaic. Just my kind of thing. |

Evening until 11pm close. A slightly delayed train from Kent made for a dash for the slowly closing closing-time doors.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Peverel | 4.50 | | Nothing wrong with its condition. Session IPA, 100% Mosaic hops but a taste abomination. Might just as well have bought a Jif lemon for squeezing on a pancake, pure lemon juice not a beer |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - Tonic Ale | 3.00 | | Cloudy and golden and fruity and refreshing. |

Lunchtime visit. Most of the people present were here to have a beer or two before heading to Brisbane Road to watch football in the afternoon.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| One Mile End Brew Co. (formerly Mulligans at the White Hart and then WH Brew Pub) - Tinker's Cuss | 5.20 | | An amber-coloured Rye IPA flavoured with peppercorns. |
| Fernandes - Black Voodoo | 5.10 | | A very full-flavoured, black, chocolate and orange-flavoured Porter. Just perhaps, too fully-flavoured. |
| Tap East - Peanut Butter Pint (collaboration with London Brewing Co) | 4.70 | | Brewed here, in collaboration with London Brewing Co. Black, smooth, creamy and nutty. A bit stickier than I really like. |
| Tap East - Fill in the Blancs | 5.50 | | A Blonde-style beer brewed here in collaboration with Laines Brewery and featuring the Hallertau Blanc hop, which gives a very fruity flavour to the beer. |
| Tap East - Caribeer | 6.20 | | On keg dispense. No head at all, but helped by a gentle carbonation. A slightly alarming red colour. Described as a ‘Sorrel IPA’, this beer is additionally flavoured with Hibiscus and ginger. All the flavourings are apparent. |
| Oakham - JHB | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - A.P.A. (American Pale Ale) | 4.30 | Not Tried |

All this week the three guest beer pumps will be featuring beers from fellow brewpubs. The pub is very quiet in mid-evening and I stand at the bar with Terry L and Steve M as we reel of a long list of closed pubs in Leyton and their many faults.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Riverhead - White Cloud | 4.50 | | A pale beer with sharp, citrusy hop flavours. We all enjoy this one. |
| Instant Karma - Bramling Porter | 5.00 | | A lovely, black Porter hopped with fruity Bramling Cross. |
| Falstaff - Smiling Assassin | 5.20 | | A dark beer that is sweetly malty. |
| Tap East - Coffee in the Morning (has been 5.7% too) | 5.60 | Not Tried | |
