Late evening visit. Proximity to Hammersmith tube station is this pub's only attribute. What a waste to have Ilkley Ruby Jane on 2 handpumps in the same bank of 8.

Quite busy on a Tuesday evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sambrook's - Lavender Hill (originally exclusively for Nicholson's) | 4.50 | | Amber bitter with a citrus orange hop flavour which gives quite a bitterness to the beer. There is some malt for balance. My score 15/20. |
23 Jun 2012 (Martin the Mildman)
Quiet early on a Saturday lunchtime with trade gradually building up.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rooster's - Welsummer (exclusively for Nicholson's) | 4.50 | | Pale bitter with an excellent fruity citrus hop flavour with good malt balance. Finish is fruity and hoppy. My score 16/20. |
| Robinsons - Globe Hopping | 4.40 | | Very pale bitter supposedly brewed with ingredients from every continent. However, the Robinsons house style takes over giving a yeasty, malty flavour with peppery overtones. My score 15/20. |
| Itchen Valley - Calypso | 4.10 | | Golden in color with a harsh bitter hop flavour with little malt balance. My score 13/20. |
