Cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a hazy orange-brown with a small cream head. Has a faint aroma of fruits mixed with oranges and malts. In the mouth the overwhelming sensation is how watery it is. There’s a barley sugar sweetness and underneath it all are some nuts and toffee. An acrid sharpness as well – I suspect this example not in the best condition. Will need to rerate.

Bottle that Mum & Dad shared - cheers! Light amber with a middling fizz and a negligible white head. Dry, biscuitty malts and wheat chaff. A hint of floral hops. Moderate bitterness. So-so standard supermarket brew.

Rocky off white head stayed on a light amber coloured still body. Malt, caramel & confectionery aroma. Medium bodied, sharp on the palate with a cloying back. Berry, spices, caramel, malt & citrus tastes with tangy bitter finish.

Cask at The Dartmouth Arms, Dartmouth. Floral caramel and malts aroma. Amber. Frothy white head. Light bitter with an iffy-is it citrus? sour edge. Light bodied. Slick but thin. Average carbonation. Long astringent finish. Not keen on this.
