Cask at White Hart, Chobham. A fruity pineapple in syrup aroma. Pale gold. Thin but creamy white head. Light bitter. Develops a tangy sweet and sour taste. Along the lines of a savoury dish using pineapple. Also spice and malt in there. Light bodied. On the thin side. Flat carbonation. Long finish. Didn’ t work for. But I’m not keen on sweet and sour. After the initial pleasant aroma it went down hill.

Bottle from Bourne Valley Farm Shop. Floral and citrus aroma. Pale gold. Thin white head around rim, with some lacing. Initial grapefruit bitter hit. Gains sweetness into finish - juicy citrus. Light bodied. Slick. A prickly of carbonation. Long but muted finish. Good stuff, if not particularly adventurous. But I have to admit it’s probably too cold to give it complete justice - forgot it was in the fridge.

Bottle at home. Bought at Bourne Valley Farm Shop, Addlestone. A rounded hop aroma. Light amber. Head is short lived, just traces left around the inside of the glass. Bitter - this builds up in intensity. Grapefruit. Quinine. Light bodied. Watery but still crisp. Long, dry finish. Good without being mindblowing.

Cask at the Prince Arthur (JDW), Fleet. An opaque, peaty black pour with a thin cream head; aroma of treacle and freshly fallen autumn leafs; thin in the mouth, sugary without being sweet; and a dry licorice finish with a hint of wood smoke. A good old-fashioned mild.
