Cask at The Hanging Bat. Hazy amber body with a medium off-white head that holds well. Good lacing. Aroma of... not very much - maybe orangey, earthy hops? Flavour of... not very much - possibly bread and orange marmalade? Thin body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Soft carbonation prickle. This is a bland, inoffensive beer.

Cask at Inn Deep. It pours hazy orange amber with a thick white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy, orange, tangerine, marmalade, candied peel and light spice. The taste is dry, crisp, straw, grapefruit, orange peel, tangerine, pithy and peppery, with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Decent enough. Decent orangey ale.

On cask at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - golden with a decent head and a very slight haze. Nose - blood orange to pink grapefruit. Taste - more of that fresh yet intensely rich citrus. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - would turn a non beer drinker to beer it’s that citrusy. Yum say the bawbags!
