Isle Of Wight Holiday Beer#3. Made it to Portsmouth, first beer here. Hazy deep golden, fair strength with some creamy-fruity notes to be enjoyed within. Orange provides light citrus.

Handpull cask at the Talbot, Ledbury. Dark gold and clear with a film of off-white head and some spotty lacing. Juicy orange, a bit of mango, brown bread on the nose. Sweet taste, good bitterness quickly on, some marmalade, kumquat, a touch of plum. Medium and slightly oily body, very little carbonation. Decent but not very memorable.

Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Beer#11. POOLE. Not quite a folly but Brownsea Castle on Brownsea Island is a picturesque building within the natural harbour of Poole. Had this one not too far away on the mainland. Golden with a creamy head. Light but tasty pineapple, mango and lime. Easy enough session beer.
