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.

500ml bottle from Morrisons, Eastbourne. Poured a mostly clear golden colour with a short-lived, frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light woody hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with an earthy, light pepper spice, woodg hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Beer#26. ST HELIER. First drink in Jersey, one I'd see quite frequently in keg across the island. Drank in Royal Square in the capital. An easy, glowing golden carbonated brew - not particularly fruity but nice enough.

Half-pint, draught, outside in the beer garden at The Catherine Wheel. Bright golden body, stable white head leaving rings of lace down the glass. Quite inviting on the nose with grassy hops and a citric scent. Moments of lemon and peaches to the taste profile followed by a semi-dry bitter ending. Decent. (Bibury, Cotswold, 26.04.2025).
