Can from Garsons, West End. Aroma has tart line juice. Saline streak. Clear gold. Thin translucent white head soon thins out. Sour. Citrus. Tart. Salty edge. Peripheral malty hints. Light. Thin. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Can't remember when I last had a Margarita... but this is much more punchy and sour than I was expecting.

A very drinkable ESB, light bitterness, smooth and malty, quite sweet and nutty. Quite a classic esb, very nice to just keep drinking this one.

[Cask at the Lord Raglan, Wokingham.] A hazy pale amber pour with a tight white head and lots of lacing on the glass; citrus aroma; light orangey citrus taste with a bready body; and a touch of grapefruit bitterness to finish. A light refreshing bitter.

330ml can via Beer52: 5.2% ABV and no mention of Brewgooder's. Best Before 16th May 2023, one year after canning. Pale golden body, hazed with a snow white billowing head. Citrusy front to the aroma and taste, lemons to the fore. Ah, just seen the hops used on the can label, Citra, Idaho 7 and Simcoe, no wonder I detect lemons and other citrus fruits! This is fine.
