Cask at the Cornfield Garage, Eastbourne. Poured a crystal clear yellow golden colour with a thin white head. The aroma is yeasty, floral hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a fresh, smooth, light yeasty, floral hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Liked this!

Bottle from lowcostbeer.com consumed 3 months past BBE. Pours a cloudy gold, some sediment, big foamy head. Aroma has a lemon pith, grass and dusty grain aroma. Low carbonation, semi drying, light to mid bodied and slick. Quite a subdued flavour with pleasant enough malts and a grassy and citric note.

Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours a slightly hazy golden brown with a small off-white head and good lacing. There’s floral hops in the aroma plus some hints of summer fruits. In the mouth it is quite sweet with a creamy texture. Flavour is mainly malts and nuts but with some hoppy hints as well. A little bit of toffee comes through later on as well leading to a slightly bitter finish. This is decent enough – but definitely NOT a brown ale ! Somewhere between a bitter and a golden ale – maybe even a light mild ?

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Black with a white head and quite heavy. Black coffee, toasty malts, a little caramel note. Dry and bitter on the first taste, but it mellows as you drink more with some blackberry notes coming through. Aftertaste of bourbon biscuits. Somewhere between a mild and a light stout I thought. It's not bad.
