Cask at Spoons in Eastbourne. Soy sauce nose. Caramel colour. Slight sweetness to it but still dry and cloy-soy sauce. Not sure I'd describe it as a best bitter to be honest....

Cask at JD Weatherspoon, Eastbourne. Just what you want a warm sunny day by the coast. Light, floral and sweet. Enjoyed it.

Cask at CPK, Pimlico on 19th April 2025. Clear pale gold with shallow white foam and full lacing. Mildly fruity aroma. Citrus liquid pass lacking complexity. Tangy finish. Light bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. By no means unpleasant, but one half was enough.

Can bought at RHS Wisley shop. Thick fluffy foamy white head. Opaque amber-gold body. Aroma is combines a floral streak with doughy sweetness. Light resin. Medium bitter. Resinous. Citrs sour edge Spice. A tad rough around the edges. Underlying chewy malts and latterly a burst of sugary sweetness. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. This went down well after not having had high expectations for a Dorking brew. Good stuff.

Can from Beers of Europe. Clear gold with big fluffy white top. Citric, pine and light floral aroma. Very light soft mouthfeel. Taste of lemon zest, orange, pine needles, grass but all in a light way you would expect for a 4% pale. Very sessionable.

440ml can (yes, I know this is the cask version rating page, but it's 4.2% ABV and obviously the same beer in principle. BBE November 2024, from Beers of Europe. Drank at home on 21st September 2024 during a mini-tasting-session with myself while Margie was out with friends. Poured robustly into a UK vase shaped pint glass. Slight misty body, deep amber in colour, off-white foam on top. Malty feel with a decent hop bitterness, woody, earthy and a bit of a throw back to traditional English Bitters. Liked it.
