Always a very good selection of beers in this pub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Browar Namyslow - Namyslow Plum | 4.00 | | Fruity plum aroma, sweeter than I had anticipated in mouth, a bit like my mother’s plum crumble that I had when I was a child on a Sunday. But then it gets worse, bit chalky in flaovur, too sweet. In fact it’s terrible. Tastes of artificial fruit. I didn’t finish the half pint. |

Went looking for the Princess Louise and missed it completely. Which was fine as apparently it is being refurbised and will re-open in December 2007.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Itchen Valley - One Hop Cascade | 4.20 | | Cascadey hoppy golden beer. Perfectly drinkable. |
| Belhaven - Caledonian Deuchars IPA | 3.80 | | Full of diacetyl. |

'Spoons on Holborn that is a little better than average. Attracts a lot of law students.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Highgate - Davenport's IPA | 4.00 | | Gold with thin bubbly white head. It's a golden bitter with decent citrus finish. Really quite drying on the finish, more than most bitters. Bit of yeast. Good lemony finish. |

Late Saturday afternoon and there were a load of pink and white balloons up for some reason.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| B&T (Banks & Taylor's) - Tinker | 4.50 | | Copper colour with thin lasting white head. Coppery, some red berry fruit. Lacks malt fullness. Certainly has fruity presence. Bit over teh top. Earthy bitter and syrupy fruit. It's a fruity bitter. |
| Red Brick - Double Barrel | 4.30 | | Copper colour with thin beige head. Earthy bitter. Slightly syrupy with the malt. Yeasty aroma, some mineral. Some sharpness. Some green apple, too sour to be pleasant. Malt/hop/yeast is out of balance. |
