Cask at The Hurst Arms, Eastbourne. Interesting to see this. It had notes of wheat beer to it and it was rather sweet and rich tasting. Improved as you went through it after cloying start. Nice bright Amber gold.

Bottle at Rob Wick's. A rather harmless and somewhat tasteless ale that you could definitely drink many pints off in a session.

Bottle at Rob Wick's. Lovely smooth and slightly sweet ale. Not getting much smoke but definitely a good glugger.
