Very busy, not a spare seat to be had on a Tuesday evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| B&T (Banks & Taylor's) - Albion Ale | 4.00 | | Sweetish golden beer with a sweetish aroma, sweetish citrus hop notes and a slightly smokey malt flavour. Not very well balanced. My score 14/20. |
| White Horse - Horse Rustler | 5.40 | Not Tried | |
| RCH - Fiery Liz | 5.00 | Not Tried |
11 Oct 2011 (Martin the Mildman)
Very busy, standing room only mid evening on a Tuesday.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salopian - Vapour Trail | 4.00 | | Pale bitter with an assertive sharp and bitter hop character. Little malt balance. A little to harsh for my taste. My score 14/20. |
04 Jun 2011 (Martin the Mildman)
Very busy with England football fans congregating before the match at Wembley.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydes - Ship Shape | 4.20 | | Golden ale dominated by a grainy, cereally malt taste. Little hoppiness to balance. The finish is of biscuity malt. My score 14/20. |
02 Apr 2011 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leeds - Doubting Tom | 4.00 | | Very pale hoppy bitter. One of the hops used was Sorachi, although must have been a small amount as it was barely perceptible, more citrussy hops like cascade coming through more strongly to give a clean, refreshing finish. My score 15/20. |
| Inveralmond - Old Brig | 4.00 | | Malty red coloured ale with the characteristic sticky, cloying taste of crystal malt. The finish is dry and bitter. My score 14/20. |
02 Nov 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cains - Voyager | 4.40 | | Very sweet and malty with very little hoppiness. Not one for hopheads. My score 15/20. |
| Harviestoun - Wild Hop IPA | 4.20 | | Strong amber bitter with a strong, bitter, earthy hop flavour. Very little maltiness to speak of. My score 14/20. |
20 Apr 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

04 Jul 2009 (Wittenden)
Quietly busy with mid Saturday morning trade
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Westerham - Single Hop Challenger | 4.00 | | The underground was like Dante's Inferno: this was ideally refreshing:golden with a fresh aspect. I need to try the rest of this range to "learn my hops". I greatly like Westerham beers; I've rarely been let down. |

I had a meeting just around the corner so popped in on my way down to Borough Market. Busy as it is in a railway station.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freeminer - Honey Dipper | 4.60 | | Gold, lasting white head. Good condition. Honey really shines thorough. gives it some sweetness, but keeps its balance. I liked it very much. Good honey and flavour balanced by hop. Good. |

I had a seminar up in London, not far from Liverpool Street station, so I thought I would make the most of my good fortune and nip in for a pint afterwards. OK Spoons.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | | So drinkable it makes you cry. The sherberty biting citrus hop just lasts and lasts. Just a tad watery in mouth. |
| Hook Norton - Double Stout | 4.80 | | Deep ruby/brown with little beige head. Roasty stout. Maybe overly roasted with liquorice too. Some condition. But a little thin in mouth. Too much liquorice for my liking. Toffee, caramel aroma, maybe a touch of diacetyl. Odd and not to my taste. |
