Half-pint shared with Finn at George, Tunbridge Wells. Deep amber coloured body. Patchy surface, upper part lacing. Distant malt-fruity smell. The taste profile has got moments of caramel and marmalade. Light mid-dry bittersweet endnotes. Accepted. (Tunbridge Wells 18.10.2019).

Pint on tap at The Ginger Fox, West Sussex. Bronze beer with thin film of suds on top. Zero nose. A few bubbles ascend. Patchy lacing. Slight effervescence makes it easy to drink. Finish is hoppy, malty and drying. Looks ordinary, smells of nothing, but nice taste and great finish.
