27/1/2023. Cask at the 14th Colchester Winter Ale Festival. Pours clear dark amber brown with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma of malt, toffee, dried fruits, light tropical fruits, biscuit, slight spiced edge. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness and body. Slightly creamy, soft carbonation. Good ESB.

Gravity cask at Pigs Ear 2022 - day 1. Pours clear copper-gold with a small, foamy white head. Light sweet flavour with some dusty notes, leafy hops, semi-ripe berries, toasted caramel. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with more leafy hops, light carpet notes, grains. So so.

Keg draught at Pivni, York. Mid-golden orange with a full ring of off-white head. Floral aroma, some sweet spice, orange peel. Sweetish taste, extremely floral and spicy with some souring citrus in the finish. Light body with carbonation slightly on the heavy side. German pale? I've never tasted a German beer remotely like this. It's a bit of a mess, botanical as fuck, but not altogether terrible once you're prepared for what's coming your way.

Cask at The Dolphin, Eastbourne. A tasty ale with citra hops coming through quite prominently. Somewhat rough ending. Decent enough from another local brewery.

Clear and golden with a frothy white head and a fresh and zesty aroma, maybe a hint of pine. Hoppy and bitter, both floral and fruity to my mind, with a light malt backbone. [Shrewsbury CAMRA Beer Festival 2022]
