Evening visit on past advertised closing time but not until the revised one.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kent - Prohibition | 4.80 | | A very acute bitterness |
| Tiny Rebel - Sleigh Puft Triple Chocolate Nougat Marshmallow Porter | 5.20 | | Full flavoured with unexpected tongue rasping bitterness to boot |

17 Dec 2023 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakham - Citra | 4.20 | | Best condition of Oakham Citra I have had in a long time |

02 Mar 2023 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit. Just a few in but they were all chatty.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bristol Beer Factory - Milk Stout | 4.50 | | Probably the very best of this ale I have had anywhere |
| Tiny Rebel - HANK | 4.00 | | No fan of Tiny Rebel but this had intriguingly floral "tropical" flavours |
| Wantsum - Imperium | 4.00 | Not Tried |
10 Jan 2023 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until close. Only 2 other customers in but immediate conversations broke out. Must visit more often.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bristol Beer Factory - Fortitude | 4.00 | | Nowt wrong with this one |
| Brew York - Tonkoko | 4.30 | | Tasty, excellent condition, good enough to want another |
| Gun - Scaramanga Extra Pale Ale | 3.90 | Not Tried |
11 Aug 2019 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until 9pm close. Good banter about the Plumstead Common "Idlers" group of local pubs and what this new house should be - someone said The Plum Tree that was never stoned.

02 Aug 2019 (Philip Pirrip)
Mid evening visit. Busiest I have seen it so far. Have concluded from noise and voices echoing that noise baffling on ceiling or walls is required here. Someone brought some chips in to eat at a table, time to move on.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anspach & Hobday - The Pale Ale | 4.40 | | Cool and refreshing |
| Mad Squirrel (formerly Red Squirrel) - London Porter | 5.00 | Not Tried | |

26 Jul 2019 (Philip Pirrip)
Mid evening visit.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Husk - IPA | 4.70 | | Slight haze. Initial promise dissipated a bit. Good to see an English style bitter with no citrus |
| Salopian - Hop Twister | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Bristol Beer Factory - Milk Stout | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| One Mile End Brew Co. (formerly Mulligans at the White Hart and then WH Brew Pub) - Mango & Cash | 4.80 | Not Tried |
22 Jul 2019 (Philip Pirrip)
Mid evening trip, my first here. I did notice that a majority of newbie customers who seemed uncertain what to order were offered samples of keg rather than cask beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wiper and True - Pale Ale Kaleidoscope - Simcoe Mosaic Citra | 4.20 | | Could have done with more condition / natural carbonation but good on taste |
| One Mile End Brew Co. (formerly Mulligans at the White Hart and then WH Brew Pub) - Mango & Cash | 4.80 | | Murky as a scrumpy. Little if any sweetness from the fruit. Poured quite flat and with no natural carbonation |
| Bristol Beer Factory - Milk Stout | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Burning Sky - Plateau (was 3.5%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Arbor Ales - I Speak for the Trees | 5.00 | Not Tried |
