Cask handpull at The Jack Fairman JDW Horley. Clear orange brown colour very thin white head. Some plum fruit on aroma. Its not as sweet as the Polish plum thing we had to endure before. Slightly kiddie sweet on the fruit. Clearly artificial over a non descript slightly malty bitter. More plum sweet artificial flavour on finish. I wont be hurrying back to this one.
