3rd visit of this outing: Moderate footfall for this late afternoon visit with three cask ales on. Friendly, prompt service and a good few seats to be had. Just minutes from the station was handy for the onward leg to Southminster.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mighty Oak - Gorgeous George | 4.20 | | This Essex best bitter from its Maldon brewery set up in 1996 came with a very good head and lasting lacing. A dry malty first hit. A gentle bitterness rising with a spicy hoppiness featuring cinnamon, nutmeg and black pepper. This is likely to be emanating from traditional English hops such as Challenger behind its spicy, cedarwood, and herbal notes, Fuggles behind a damp, earthy, and woody spiciness, East Kent Goldings, used as a late addition or for dry-hopping and behind floral notes with a subtle, sweet spiciness and honey/fruit notes. Additionally, Bramling Cross/Northdown behind a slightly darker berry fruitiness combined with a punchy, peppery kick. Biscuity malts winning over and aided by either Maris Otter or British Pale Ale Malt, and reinforced by its Amber or Special Roast Malts behind its dry, toasted and biscuity flavours for me. A bittersweet finish aided by its floral and fruity undertones. Served in top notch condition. |

Mid afternoon visit for our party of 3 on Crouch Valley Rail Ale Trail. Quiet on the outside and busy on the inside but still plenty of seating spare. Very fast service from attentive barmaid.

Quick pint on the way back to the railway station. As has been said, this is clearly a well-run, traditional house.

Early to mid evening visit, Philip Pirrip arrived shortly before my departure. This was my first visit here and I was impressed with the way this pub was run, hardworking bar staff and everything spotlessly clean. An excellent wet led pub.
