Cask at PoW, Farnborough, Medium gold. Thin white head. Medium bitter. Sour fruit - citrus plus apples. Light bodied. Soft carbonation. Long dry finish. Nice enough, but fairly one dimensional in terms of taste.

Bottle shared with and courtesy of a small family of field mice behind Deanso’s sofa. Light hazy golden with a big white head. Aroma of light fruity hops, light grassy notes, grain and light malt. Flavour is light sweet and light moderate bitter. Above light bodied with light carbonation.

Cask at the Wellington, Birmingham. Poured a crystal clear light amber with a bubbly white head. The aroma is stale malt and weak hops. The flavour is medium bitter. Medium bodied with a bitter liqourice palate and a long rather unpleasant bitter finish. Can’t say I really enjoyed this too much. The aftertaste wasn’t good. It’s refreshing but the hops don’t really work for me. I need my pale ales to be a little more "pale"!

330 ml bottle purchased from The Tiddly Pomme, Faversham. A bit light, but pleasant aroma of citric hops. Nice and refreshing flavor of pale malt, citric fruit and some bitterness. Medium to light body – feels right and some bitterness in aftertaste. Decent and refreshing thirst quencher. Probably closer to an American Pale Ale than Bitter or IPA.
