[Cask at the Claude du Vall (JDW), Camberley.] An amber pour with a creamy head; autumn fruit aroma; taste to match with some apple and blackberry and a smooth bready body; then a slightly spicy bitterness to finish. Very tasty.

Cask at spoons in Eastbourne. Sick on the nose. Caramel colour and taste. Darker than expected. Lovely grassy yet sweet finish. Enjoyable overall!

Cask at Greyhound, Stafford. Pours a bright chestnut with a small cream head and good lacing. The aroma is a mix of traditional and floral hops, plus oranges and other generic citrus hints. In the mouth it is quite bitter but with some underlying sweetness and a creamy texture. Flavour is traditional hops, malts and summer fruits. The hoppiness lasts into the dry and sticky finish. This is decent – very drinkable.

Can bought at Redh, Haslemere. Aroma has citrus and stone fruit. Herbs. Hazy opaque amber. Lively foamy translucent white head. Medium bitter. Tart citrus. Big dose of malts and hints of boiled veg. All a bit faded. Bland. Light-medium bodied. Thin. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. Session IPA that can't hide it's humdrum trad brewery roots.
