Keg at The Bower Inn, Bridgwater. Clear copper gold. Foamy delicate white head. Aroma has stone fruit and gooseberries. Underlying malty hints. Flavourwise it's got a light bitterness with what I find to be an unpleasant tart edge. Underlying sweet hints and malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-flat carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Rubbish insipid stuff. Old school brewery failing at a modern beer.
