Early evening busy inside and out thanks to the mild sunny weather. A no doubt welcome oasis for beer choice in a nationally blanded area.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kent - Hallertau Blanc | 4.50 | | A mix of fruity hoppy earthy buttery and malty aromas complemented with a clean crisp dry finish. Superb. |
| Moot Brew - Nuggies | 3.80 | | Earthy peaty hazy broth. |
| Orbit - Cue Point | 3.80 | | Overbearing lemon and sweetness for my palate however in top condition and not a chore to drink |
| Kent - Session Pale | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
| Iron Pier - Cast Iron Stout | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Kent - Old Skool | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Iron Pier - Woodlands IPA | 4.80 | Not Tried |

Evening visit on a cold wet night. Convenient for the 161 bus terminus just a minute away. All seating tables, bar one, were taken.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kent - Session Pale | 3.70 | | In top form in all ways |
| Moot Brew - Pilgrim | 3.80 | | A dark rather malty wet dog bitter and enjoyable, but not quite up there to be excellent |
| Iron Pier - Old Ale | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Pig & Porter - Forever Lost | 5.30 | Not Tried | |
| 360° - Bark at the Moon | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Howling Hops (Brewed at Hackney Wick) - Switch Back | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Wiper and True - Endless Love | 4.80 | Not Tried |

Evening visit until close. My first here and was most stuck by the prices, generally much higher than I am used to in a micropub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| BritHop (originally cuckoo or contract brewed at Franklins) - Pit | 3.80 | | Well balanced, a joy to drink after the Neptune. The only reasonably priced ale here tonight |
| Neptune - Shifting Sands | 4.30 | | No indication of being a hazy murk, just a miniature "VF" on the beer board. Please pre-warn customers who value clarity in their ales |
| Goacher's - Gold Star | 5.10 | Not Tried | |
| Vocation - Naughty & Nice | 5.90 | Not Tried | |
| Brew By Numbers - 11 Session IPA Mosaic | 3.80 | Not Tried |

I really liked this pub, my friends chose to sit outside but I enjoyed the wonderful interior and the smell of fresh flowers for a while before deciding to be semi-sociable and joining them outside.
