A quiet early evening in this very pleasant pub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arbor Ales - Sean of the Red | 5.10 | | Hazy red/brown. A nice, US-style Red Ale. Initial taste is of caramel and then the hops work through. |
| Vibrant Forest - Citra | 5.00 | | Wow. Absolutely no shortage of Citra hops in this one. |

We were guests at a friend's retirement do at 4pm however we arrived an hour earlier and secured a table for 5 of us which we had to vacate at 7pm for a reservation. Fairly quiet upon arrival however this soon become standing room only as expected for a Friday evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redemption - Trinity | 3.00 | | Refreshing zesty and flavoursome for its ABV. |
| Vibrant Forest - Black Forest | 4.90 | | A break from Trinity I found this syrupy sickly black coffee gloop hard work. |
| Neepsend - Demeter | 6.00 | Not Tried | I'm unaware of any of us who sampled this. |

Saturday afternoon and full but not uncomfortable. Beers are very reasonably priced for the area, unfortunately I forgot to note down the three real ales that were on offer.

Late afternoon- just 5 other customers in - a very nice feel
to the place - a proper pub. One off my "wish list".
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| East London (ELB) - Foundation Bitter | 4.20 | | Quite similar to the Pig and Porter - and same ABV - but a little more hoppy flavour. |
| Pig & Porter - Pale Series Citra | 4.20 | | A very nice pale ale in good condition. This was labelled up as "pale series loungers and idlers ADHA527" which the barman could not shed a my light on. £3.50 with Camra discount - very good for this part of the country. |
| Redemption - Trinity | 3.00 | Not Tried |

Early afternoon. We sat in the little courtyard at the rear as my friend does not like piped music,

Quiet mid afternoon, few in the sunshine and a few at the bar. Disappointing to find only 2 beers and when I asked for a traditional copper coloured bitter, I was told "we don't really sell bitter here"! Now I don't think she was correct, but I know what she meant!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redemption - Trinity | 3.00 | | For its gravity, a good taste. Served a little too cold. |

| Neepsend - Peppercorn Stout | 4.40 | Not Tried |

Early evening visit. No home-brewed beers available tonight – so I take an executive decision not to count this visit as part of my quest to visit as many London breweries/taps in 2017 as possible.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redemption - Trinity | 3.00 | | Golden, fresh and tasty. |
| Lincoln Green - Tuck Porter | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
