500ml bottle bought at Union Rooms (JDW), shared with Finn. A pearl white tophead leaving rings of lace down the glass. Amber body, near-clear. Floral hops on the nose. Citrus flavours, impact of orange and lemon. Mild hop bitter finish. Tasty and refreshing (Plymouth 23.09.2016).

Cask, half pint, shared with Finn at Brass Monkey. Patchy white head, clingy lacing, clear golden-brown body. Mild aroma of apples and and pale malts. Taste of apples, berry fruit and pale malts. Mid-dry ending. Rather thin in-mouth feel. Easy going (Plymouth 22.09.2016).

Gritty old ale. Too sweat. Not good. Bland.

bottle from Sidmouth Wines. Golden with small white head. Malty, grainy hints, fruity yeasty flavours and a shy hoppy touch.

Disparate head over hazy light-brown beer (stout???). Bottom solid yeast. Woody nose, chocolate malt, pencil(wood). Chocolate, sweetish, lightly coloured malts. Acidity backthroat (light). Quite well-bodied for its ABV. Feels better carbonated than it looks. I agree - "Brown Jack" doesn’t sound very comestible. But this Jack ain’t black! Txs to Stef!

500 ml bottle, as Hunter’s Crispy Pig Speciality Ale, from Det Gode Brygg, Sandnes. ABV is 4%. Brewed with Boadicea hops and apple essence. Deep golden colour, large white head. Strong aroma of apple essence / apple candy. The flavour is slightly acidic and fruity with notes of apples, but also with distinct hops and a bitter finish. Okay, and something out of the ordinary, but hardly a beer that will be on my priority list to buy again.
