Pint at the Gate House JDW. Medium creamy beige head. Clear amber pour. Missing something. It doesn't stand out from the crowd.

On cask at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - deep amber to red with a nice fluffy head. Nose - light strawberry and biscuit. Taste - a bit more of the Jammy Dodger thing. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet crunchy texture and a long dry crunchy finish. Overall - solid.
