500ml bottle from a Morrison's in Devon: BBE June 2022. Drank at home on 25th September (after driving to Maidenhead and back to watch Grimsby draw 1-1). It's Devon Amber in colour, clean and clear, white head. Decent enough blend with a malty flavour with a hop bitterness in it's make up.

Cask by gravity as Salcombe Devon Amber, half pint, shared with Finn at The Old Fire House. Lacing rings down the glass from a film type layer. Clear amber body. Restrained malt-fruity smell. Flavoured with dried fruits, brown malts and backed by vague leafy hops. Bittersweet endnotes. Rather thin bodied. A bit empty in the mouth (Pub crawl in Exeter 28.09.20
