As Defaulters Pale Ale. Few months old this. Bright clear deep gold beer, good bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Light pale malts, clean and with a veey mild sweetness. Mellow hops. Little marmalade and orange peel. Modest bitterness. Light crisp finish. Standard stuff but clean and drinkable. Would have been better when I bought it in July and the score is adjusted for that.

Can from Inn At Home, Guildford. Weak floral caramel aroma, I guess. Hazy gold. Whacking great frothy white head. Light bitter. Sour edge. Malt base. Light-medium bodied. Thin. Light carbonation. Low key dry finish. Nothing to write home about. It’s OK but not much going on. Bore beer.

Cask at Ealing Beer Festival 2017, Ealing, London. A golden/amber coloured pour with a thin white head on top. Vague hoppy, citrus aroma. Tastes vaguely hoppy, fruity with a strange taste I cannot explain, almost like plastic. Really disappointing.
