Friendly and welcoming back street locals pub with just a few others dotted about. Tastefully refurbished since my previous visit though sadly lacking the previous cosy mustiness that I crave!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tring - Side Pocket for a Toad | 3.60 | | Refreshing well rounded hoppy fruity dry fare for such a low ABV |
| Vibrant Forest - Metamorph | 5.50 | | Dangerously drinkable juicy tropical fruits broth.. |

Late afternoon to mid evening at this superb locals pub, this month's venue for our Friday evening group, mostly drinkers with just a couple of groups dining. Great atmosphere the three bar staff coped admirably with orders and glass clearing duties.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tring - Side Pocket for a Toad | 3.60 | | Sweet earthy with a fruity banana hint, this was the most popular choice amongst our group including myself. |
| White Hart Tap - Session Pale | 4.20 | | Excellent condition with a citra and slightly overbearing grapefruit twang. |
