@ Hop Pole, Bath. Light golden colour. Very slight hop spice - almost a Sprite accent too. There’s a strange burnt match sulphur character. The sulphur/smoke component is somewhat acceptable, but doesn’t really integrate with anything else about t

Picked a bottle up at the Bankes Arms, Dorset, which is adjacent to the Isle of Purbeck Brewer 22-06-06. Didn’t even realise that this was supposed to be a lager style beer, found this light amber coloured beer to be a little sweet some hops present touch dry, not really that impressive, I did try this after a big powerful hoppy Downton Chimera IPA though which was probably a little unfair.
