Old rating - A couple of pint from the cask at the Old Smugglers Inn at Ouaisne. It pours a chestnut brown with a off white head. Aromas & tastes of caramel, earth, nuts & sweet malt. Medium body. Mild to medium bitter finish. It's a English bitter rather than the English pale ale that it's branded as. Enjoyable enough

Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Beer#42. ST SAVIOUR. A rerate on the seaside terrace at the rear of a Liberation pub on my last day in Jersey. First tried at the Wetherspoon Autumn Beer Festival 2018 at the Paramount in Manchester. Darker golden with a creamy head. Has a stronger tasting hoppiness, a hint of fruit, and is quite crisp drinking.

Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Beer#32. ST AUBIN. Very dark copper with a creamy head. Smoothish and easy with a mid-bitterness. Traditionally English taste, which is no surprise given its ingredients. Enjoyed on the decked terrace of a Liberation pub overlooking the quaint harbour in St Aubin in Jersey.

Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Beer#28. ST HELIER. Sat opposite the beautiful market building in Jersey's capital for this one. A sessionable golden beer, healthy-hoppy and easy-drinking and excellent for the warm summer evening it was drank on.

Old rating - I had a few of these on cask at the Old Court House Inn, St Aubin's, Jersey. It's one of the better Liberation beer's, a English IPA rather than the style listed here.
