Cask at Pig's Ear. Clear amber beer, decent bubbly off white head. Light palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth if slightly thin malts, unsweet toffee. Light piney hop. Rich ripe citrus with peel bitterness and floral bitterness. Light and semi dry finish. Not bad, decent nick. Tastes like an ESB mind.

Keg draught at the brewery tap, Brockley. Deep golden orange, mostly clear with a tiny film of off-whote head. Malty aroma, some citrus fruit, iced tea. Bittersweet taste, big chewy malt with intense fruity hop character. Nothing subtle about this. Finish is surprisingly bitter with orange oil and kumquat peel. Light to medium body, carbonation on the low side. Intense, and maybe a bit messy, but worth trying all the same.

Keg draught at the Brewery Tap, Brockley. Golden brown and clear with a small film of off-white head. Orange, caramel, Belgian yeast in the aroma. Sweet taste, just short of cloying, with more orange peel, cherry, caramel and spicy yeast character, maybe a little bit of bubblegum. Light bitterness introduced in the finish with toasted flavours in the aftertaste. Light to medium body, soft carbonation. A lot going on here.
