Enjoyed at the Barrel of Beer in Beer, had to be done! Clear and golden with a bubbly white head and a floral aroma. Light bodied, some light biscuit malt hiding behind floral hops and a dry bitter finish

Chestnut brown with a thin bubbly white head and a faint malt aroma. Thin bodied, on the watery side, has a touch of bitterness, some fruit and malt, but overall a bit underwhelming

Sample courtesy of minutemat, cheers Mat! Pale gold colour, white foam head that dissipates away and aroma of apple, citric. Taste is sweetish, apple, citric, tangy, some drying tannin. Medium bodied, light carbonation, medium dry finish. Quite drinkable.

500ml bottle from the wine shop in Lyme Regis, can't remember the name. Pale yellow appearance. Gentle apple skins and citrus aroma. Light, effervescent, gently sweet character with some apple skin notes. Simplistic, OK.

Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Reddish gold and war with a small foamy beige head. Aroma of distant forest fruit and a hint of fig. Sweet taste, more berry notes, with an astringent bittering hop in the finish. I do love Branscombe Vale but this beer isn't their best.
