Evening. Old times sake visit to recall happy days of Young's 135 visits. No other pull really these days.

A quick Friday lunchtime visit. Pub busy with office workers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banks's - Young's London Original (was Bitter) - previously brewed in Bedford and at Wychwood | 3.70 | | Good, pale, well-balanced bitter. Much improved from the low-point hit a few years ago. |

17 Jun 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
Busy early on a Thursday evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banks's - Young's London Original (was Bitter) - previously brewed in Bedford and at Wychwood | 3.70 | | Good malty base, far maltier then when brewed at Wandsworth. The hop character is subtle, but present nonetheless. A good quaffing bitter. My score 15/20. |
| Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Young's Waggledance | 5.00 | | Now reduced in strength to 4.0%. Prominent honey flavour in a malty golden ale. My score 15/20. |
| Sambrook's - Wandle | 3.80 | | More bitter than Young's bitter. Little malt character. Dry, bitter finish. My score 14/20. |
