Early evening. The pub is busy and very noisy; high music volumes forcing everybody to shout. Not entirely comfortable as a consequence.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peerless - Down Under | 3.60 | | |
| Wadworth - Orange Peel | 6.00 | | Amber-coloured. Strong and a bit sticky. Reeks of orange, but there is some offsetting hop character and I quite enjoyed this. So ‘good’, despite my feeling that it is rather unsubtle. |
| Portobello - Gold | 4.30 | | Golden. Bitter malt tastes. Blend of hop flavours. |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Jarrow - Isis | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| St Austell - Nicholson's Pale Ale | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Adnams / Camden Town Collaboration - South Town | 4.90 | Not Tried |

Mid-evening visit and at 8:00 I was able to get a seat. Chatted to a few people who had been out to Manor Park to pay their respects to Bob Crow; a good man who will be much missed, perhaps the last of his kind.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Navigation - Ice Breaker | 4.00 | | Exceptionally pale in colour. A little bit of hop character. |
| Andwell - Red IPA | 4.50 | | Reddish-brown in colour. Sticky, caramelly, toffee malt dominates over any hop flavours from the mix of UK and US hops. For me, the balance is not right. |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

Relatively uncrowded at around 7pm and I even found a seat in the ground floor bar – a rare event here in the early evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portobello - White | 4.80 | | A disappointing, hazy, pale, wheat beer that did not taste to its strength and had more than a hint of unwanted sourness. |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| St Austell - Nicholson's Pale Ale | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

The usual rush hour crush in here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rudgate - Zest is Best | 3.60 | | Not your typical Rudgate beer; this is pale gold in colour and has a lemony, zesty, citrusy flavour. |

Full of diners on a Saturday afternoon.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Great Yorkshire (see also Cropton) - Yorkshire Lager | 4.20 | | Not a great advert for cask lager, insipid and tasteless. Fine for those who like beer with no flavour. My score 10/20. |

The early evening crush was beginning to die down by the time I popped in here for a quick one at around 7:30pm.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brentwood - The Only Way is Santa | 5.20 | | One of at least six different Christmas beers produced by Brentwood this year. Brown and malty and a little bit spicy but not over-poweringly so. |

| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

Very crowded in here at 7pm on a Wednesday.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caledonian - Golden Sun | 4.30 | | Amber-coloured, dryish, grainy malt taste. Not bad. |
| Nethergate (was Nethergate Growler for a while then name reverted) - Basing Park | 4.20 | | A distinct taste of washing up liquid. I assume this came from the glass, rather than the beer. Short measure too. Will have to try again on another day. |

This pub re-opened today after a brief closure for refurbishment. It’s so dark inside that it’s hard to see what has changed. But a strong smell of paint and deep horizontal creases across the bar staff’s crisp white shirts give clues to what is new. New prices too – guest beers up 10p to £3:65 a pint. Somebody has to pay for the paint and the shirts I suppose.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cropton (see also Great Yorkshire) - Darkangel | 5.00 | | Dark and rich and full of cherries, without descending into sweetness. Pretty good, but none of the flavours are as developed as in an earlier sample I tried of this beer. |
| Wold Top - Dawn O'Time | 4.00 | | An amber/golden coloured bitter with a fruity Cristal Malt taste and some overlaying hops. Quite spritzy. |

Rather dark inside and very busy. I get irritated when a beer has expired but the pump clip still faces the customers - that happened twice here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cropton (see also Great Yorkshire) - Elf Indulgence | 5.50 | | I tried and enjoyed this beer somewhere a couple of weeks ago. But this sample (luckily just a half) had a slight chemical taint and was unpleasant. |

| St Austell - Tribute | 4.20 | Not Tried | "Sorry Sir, that one's just run out". |
