Cask @ Ferry Inn, Salcombe. Very dark red with a bubbly head. It has sweet tasting dark malts and is a tad overbearing in this respect.

Cask at PoW, Farnborough. Low key fruity aroma. Light amber. Thin bubbly translucent white head offers 30% coverage. Light bitter. Some citrus. Some spice. The rest is boiled veg. Light. Thin if it does offer some slickness. Average carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Slips downs it's so light but generally a bland beer.

Keg at Pow, Farnborough. Apparently this is craft. Grassy floral aroma which gradually gains more boiled veg. Pale copper gold. Thin creamy translucent white head soon recedes. Medium bitter with a citrus tang. Underlying herbs. Light bodied. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. More character than I was expecting. Nice enough.
