Quite busy late on a Saturday afternoon.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Wild River | 4.50 | | Supposedly double hopped, but much more malty with little hop character in this sample. Fruity and malty finish. My score 15/20. |

25 May 2012 (Stephen Harris)
I rushed here straight after work to see the last 40 minutes of the Trent Bridge Test Match on TV. Not so busy as other pubs in the area, as people were gravitating to pubs with more in the way of outside standing space, given the hot weather.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saltaire - Dark Matter | 3.80 | | Dark, dry, smooth and fairly bitter mild. |
| Potbelly - Bellowhead Hedonism | 4.50 | | A very pale, crisply hoppy beer. |
| Brewshed - American Blonde | 5.50 | | A golden-coloured beer with a bitter hop character. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cliff Quay - Roaring Forties | 4.00 | | Smooth, weel rounded amber bitter with a biscuity malt character and a sweetish, fruity finish. My score 16/20. |
30 Apr 2012 (Stephen Harris)
Very crowded – as one of the few pubs in the area with Sky TV, people were taking up their positions an hour before kick-off of the televised Manchester derby. So crowded in fact that we were not able to see the full range of beers available and just grabbed a couple of random halves then moved on.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cliff Quay - Roaring Forties | 4.00 | | An amber-coloured beer with biscuit-malt and citrusy hop. Cleary good, but not in great condition here unfortunately. |
| Tipple's - The Hanged Monk | 3.80 | | A black mild with a roasted barley taste, spoiled by being served very ‘green’, with the full flavour undeveloped. Possibly fruity. |
