Tap @ Bridport Arms. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are grass, hops, straw, malt and fruits. Nice bitter finish.

Thin white head on a pale golden coloured body. Sweet fruity aroma. Medium bodied, soft & clean. Sweet bubble gum, stone fruit & lightly hopped tastes with a tangy on the finish. Refreshing.

Keg @ Ferry Inn, Salcombe. Golden with a thin head. It’s a very light pale ale in texture, with a light hoppy character.

Keg at Pow, Farnborough. Apparently this is craft. Grassy floral aroma which gradually gains more boiled veg. Pale copper gold. Thin creamy translucent white head soon recedes. Medium bitter with a citrus tang. Underlying herbs. Light bodied. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. More character than I was expecting. Nice enough.
