Mid-evening visit.

A pitstop conveniently placed between London City Airport and home.

Final stop of the day for a swift half before my train home. I often ask myself why I come here, it must be down to the popularity of this place amongst many of the scribes on here who frequent it.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - APA | 4.30 | | This was superb - everything expected for a full on flavoursome APA. |

Two new beers are being launched tonight (technically, one of them is actually a relaunch) and quite a big crowd has gathered.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - Experimental No 2 | 9.00 | | An ‘Imperial’ version of the usual Smokestack Porter. The Smokestack is already one of my favourite beers and this is immense. |
| Tap East - Caribeer | 6.20 | | On keg dispense. Not brewed for a couple of years, this beer is still alarmingly red and is flavoured with sorrel. |

Early evening visit before launch off for a train to Kent.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black Lodge - Taking Liberties | 4.90 | | Why I bought this having had a taster I am not now sure. Allegedly a raspberry ice cream pale, in reality a sickly murk giving too much of a cloying sugar rush and at a rounded £5 a pint too |

Mid-evening and nice to catch up here with Simon F, who I bump into all too infrequently these days.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black Lodge - Excuse Me Sir... | 6.10 | | The novelty of these NEIPAs is definitely beginning to ware off with me. It’s very good though. |
| Black Lodge - Taking Liberties | 4.90 | | Oh dear, I didn’t like this at all. Murky. Raspberry flavours. Slimy mouthfeel. |

Stood at the bar with Terry L until he had to leave for his quiz fixture nearby. Pub quiet tonight.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bristol Beer Factory - Negroni | 4.60 | | I’m not familiar with the cocktail of the same name, but I enjoyed this. Alarmingly red in colour. Orange and juniper and herbs. |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Severinia | 4.10 | | A dry, clear, golden beer. Tastes of lemon pith and peel but with a good malt backbone. |
| Northern Whisper - Tittle Tattle | 4.50 | | A Belgian-style Witbier. I’ve probably spent too much time in Belgium recently to give this much of a rating. |

Considerably more relaxed in here than the Waterloo Tap was earlier.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - Experimental Belgian Pale | 4.50 | | Available on cellar run. Much fresher than the pint of this I drank last week. The better for it. |
| Bristol Beer Factory - Hawaii Juice-O | 4.50 | | Cloudy gold. Mango and pineapple. Hops too. |
| Tap East - Tonic Ale | 3.00 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Smokestack Porter | 6.50 | Not Tried | |

A late-evening visit almost until closing time. Full of locals and regulars at this time rather than shoppers and travelers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - Experimental Belgian Pale | 4.50 | | A new beer launched tonight and unrelated to former Belgian Pales brewed here. Cloudy gold. Belgian yeast flavours and subtle hops. |
| Tap East - Dandy Cellarman | 5.50 | | Usually only available from keg; this pint from the one and only cask produced. A Pilsner-style Lager, well hopped with Mandarina. |
| Tap East - Tonic Ale | 3.00 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - A.P.A. (American Pale Ale) | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
