On tap at Barrel & Horn, Bromley. Reddish orange pour with a light pink head. Nose is strawberry, red berries, touch of raspberry jam. Taste is strawberry Starburst, red cherries, raspberry jam. Tart red berries in the foretaste leading to a sweet red fruit aftertaste. Very nice contrast. Nicely held together brew.

Gravity cask at the Blue Boar as part of their 'From Sussex with Love' Festival, July 2022. Mid-brown and clear with a full off-white/beige head. Toffee and cinnamon on the nose with a note of millionaire shortbread. Sweetish taste but a bit messy with some herbal notes among the medicinal spice character. Medium to full body, soft carbonation. Okay but hard to get excited about.

Gravity cask at the Blue Boar as part of their 'Sussex with Love' Festival July 2022. Light yellow/gold and completely hazy. Very little head. Pineapple and pink grapefruit aroma with the lightest sulphurous note. Big sweet taste, I'm getting cantaloupe alongside the pineapple. Bitterness right at the finish and lingering in the aftertaste. Very thin body as befits the ABV, soft to nil carbonation. Cracking little pale.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours a golden amber with a small white head and good lacing. Aroma has nuts and berry fruits. In the mouth it is sweet malts which come to the fore first, plus grains and some hints of tangerine. Later citrus and some floral hops become apparent. Finally comes traditional hoppy bitterness which is quite pronounced in the finish. This is a decent beer – I would suggest more like a traditional bitter though.

Tap at Steamworks, Seaford. Poured a clear copper colour with a mostly lasting frothy off white head and some clingy lace. The aroma is grainy malt, earthy, mineral. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a fresh, crisp, earthy, floral, hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Can from Middle Farm, near Lewes. Murky yellow-amber with a thin white head. Quite fizzy and a bit thin. Mango juice up front. Quite heavily hopped with pine and grapefruit flavours. Not entirely convinced that pine goes with mango, but nevertheless it's very refreshing and I enjoyed it. Definitely one of the better low alcohol beers I've had.

Cask at Egham Beer Fest. Aroma had a liquorice streak. Dark brown opaque. Bubbly beige head retreats to the rim. Espresso and liquorice bitterness. That's about it. Light-medium bodied. Thin cream. Flat carbonation. Long astringent finish. Enjoyable if not overly exciting.
