330ml bottle: BBE May 2020. Drank at home on 24th Aug 2019. Clear golden body, swiftly disappearing white head. Light citrus leanings in the nose and aftertaste, mild piney hop front, it's OK in the sun!

500ml bottle from B&M Store, Darlington. Hazy pinkish orangey gold colour, white foam head that quickly dissipates away and aroma of sweets, rhubarb, jelly crystals, citric hint. Taste is sweet, some tartness, rhubard, vanilla, sugary, with fleshy apple notes. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, medium-sweet rhubarby finish. Quite OK.

Keg @ Bartons Arms, Aston. Pours a hazed orange, small off-white head. Aroma is lightly fruity, sweet. Expected a witbier / hefe of some description but seemed a rather disappointing amber, earthy english yeast, spice, lightly sweet malt.. seems a bit confused, not entirely sure what it wants to be. Pretty awful.

[50cl bottle from B&M, Tolworth.] A pale amber pour with a billowing white head; grassy aroma; sweet grainy body; straw and grass to finish. Better than it sounds, quite drinkable, if a little dull.

500ml bottle: BBE Feb 2020. Poured into an Abbot Ale Pint tankard at home on 5th Aug 2019. Misty dull gold/orange body, off-white head of uneven bubbles. Wheaty aroma with some orange esters in the background alongside a pick of pepper. The taste has a strange harshness and a peppery feel within it's wheaty, banana flavours. Certainly different to anything else I've had from Sadler's, not too sure what to make of it! Made me 'burp' a lot.

Bottle. Golden beer with a strong head. The aroma is well roasted with good hops and some maltiness. The flavour is well hopped with an oaty yeastiness. Overall a nice well hopped pale ale.

Cask at the Liten Tree, Coventry. Very strong apple aroma. Murky. Not very pleasant, in a not plesant pub.
