Bottle from Denbeighs farm shop, Dorking. Malty earthy aroma, unexpected. Medium gold. Foamy translucent white head soon shrinks away. Light-medium sour citrus with a malty underbelly. Once the sourness fades it develops boiled veg. As I drink more sugary sweetness begins to appear. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Dry finish. This is no saccharine sweet pale lager but equally it's an impressive beer but still just preferable to the former.

Casl at Horse & Groom, Chobham. Aroma is dark and malty with a berry edge. Dark chestnut. Frothy off-white head. Light-medium sour berries and caramel with some underlying bitterness. Followed up by boiled veg. Medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Long astringent finish. Starts off OK but then just becomes bland.

Can from Cobbett's, Dorking. Sweet stonefruit aroma with an almost caramel sugary note to it. Clear copper gold so they have failed on the hazy front. Thick foamy white head. Medium bitter. Quinine, pine and resin. Certainly not the light bitter the can references. Vague stonefruit sweetness under there somewhere. Medium bodied. Slick. Flat-average carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. The can stated Juicy Hoppy Piney. The latter is present but there's no refinement here. Oldschool twiggy brewer which has been attempting to modernise but this falls short.

Can from Beers Of Europe. Appearance - a lovely hazy deep amber. Slightly off white and generous white head. Nose - red and orange fruit both. Strawberry and orange. Taste - cakey up front, then dried orange and into pith. Palate - light to medium bodied. Crunchy texture, dry crunchy finish. Overall - this definitely overlaps with ESB. Great stuff.

Can from Beers Of Europe. The can has a dent in it. The beer hasn't leaked but there is a leak from another beer on top of it. Appearance - amber, quite orangey in fact. Big white head. Nose - pine, peach and grapefruit. Taste - pine, plant stalks grapefruit and grapefruit pith. Palate - light bodied. Dry middle and bitter finish. Overall - for a hot day, this would be the business.
