Cask handpull at New inn Canterbury. Clear gold colour lasting off white head. A decent English golden ale. Some pale malt. Some bitterness. Good condition. Likeable enough. Pretty standard golden ale but does well and at least it's got a bitter finish.

Cask handpull at The Rose Deal. Clear mid brown beer. Lasting beige head. Malty brown beer. Hedgerow hop finish flavour. Black pepper. I thought pretty decent English bitter. Brown malty. Hoppy.

Cask handpull at Two Sawyers Pett East Sussex . Clear pale gold colour lasting white head pretty looking beer and excellent condition. Aroma is a little earthy. Flavour is citrus and earthiness. Over did the cascade or centennial hops I feel. Needs to be more subtle orange and grapefruit. This is too earthy to be pleasant. Shame as condition is spot on.
