Evening visit whilst waiting for a train. Music was being played at an uncomfortably high volume which spoiled my enjoyment and probably accounted for the pub not being as busy as I have found it on previous visits. Certainly if this trend continues I will opt to use the dry waiting room on the platform in future.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - Smokestack Porter | 6.00 | | A good beer to finish off the evening. |

A quick stop whilst passing through on the way home. Unusually quiet for a Thursday evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Little Critters - Nutty Ambassador | 6.00 | | Strong and sweet and dark and nutty. |
| Tap East - JWB (Jim Wilson Bitter) | 3.80 | Not Tried | |

Not so busy, but it looks as if it must have been earlier as there are empty glasses and detritus everywhere – the whole place looks like it needs a good scrub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Atom - Jennsen’s Law | 3.50 | | Puzzlingly described as a ‘Table Beer’, this turns out to be an amber-coloured, spiced Witbier. |
| Alechemy - Blood Orange Shake | 3.90 | | Very sharp orange flavours. Too sharp for me. |

Mid-evening. Busier than it often is on a Sunday evening. Lots of red faces, many people having been sitting in the sun watching hockey.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ilkley - Tribus Lupulus v3.7 | 4.40 | | A very fine beer. Golden and with a really good hop balance, featuring Ekuanot, Columbus and hbc 472. Ilkley seem to be on great form at the moment. |

A quick evening visit on the way back from a day trip to Hastings.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - IPA | 6.00 | | As good as ever. |
| Bone Machine (originally cuckooed at Turning Point) - Estas Loco | 4.50 | | I didn’t note it, but I’ve a feeling this one was from a keg of some sort. Hazy gold. Chilli, lime, salt. Excellent. |

I fled here after a poor beer experience elsewhere.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| North Brewing Co. - Lost Myself | 4.80 | | A hazy, golden Pale Ale. Fruit and pine hop flavours. |
| Ilkley - Radle Me This | 3.60 | | Pale gold. A refreshing Radler with strong grapefruit flavour. |

Mid evening fairly quiet, plenty of space to sit and watch the dying moments of Russia v Croatia. If only all operating theatres had bars in them, it would make the thought of being carved up far more appealing although the bar was filthy as was the barrel top we sat at to which my stool was broken which may have been a problem had I been more inebriated.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alchemy - Tropic Shake | 4.00 | | I was expecting this warm sweet flat hazy beer to be bursting with flavours instead had a slight honey taste. |
