440ml can along the river on a balmy Summer's evening. Pours gold with a light mist, good fluffy white head. Untappd has this as a golden ale, and I quite enjoyed it as a nicely fruity golden ale, surprisingly colourful, almost bubblegummy. If drunk as an American Pale Ale, perhaps may have considered it out of style a little and not quite hitting the mark. Strange. Enjoyed it anyway that's the main thing.

Half-pint, cask at Poole Hill Brewery. Shared with Finn. Patchy beige head, near-black in the glass, clingy lacing. Moderate chocolate malts on the nose. Oatmeal and chocolate malty flavours. Slightly roasted ending. Rounded mouthfeel. Satisfying. (Bournemouth 22.10.2019).

Cask ale, half-pint, shared with Finn at Poole Hill Brewery. Patchy off-white head leaving spotty lacing on the glass. Mild caramel nose. Mixed taste of caramel malts and ripe fruits. Bittersweet ending. Quite alright. (Bournemouth 22.10.2019).

Bottle from Grumpy Goat, Reading. Despite having been sat in my bag for some time this seemed to be somewhat wild as I opened it whilst waiting for a cab. Malty bitter aroma. Light brown. Frothy white head. Light-medium bitter. Malty. Thin. Light. Fizzy carbonation. Nice enough but not overly interesting.
