Hand-pulled half-pint in the Fortescue Hotel, Plymouth on 2nd Nov 2019. Not too sure what I expected; a fruity brown sauce aroma and flavour maybe? Anyway what I got was a very pleasant Brown Ale, an off-white crown sat on a clean brown body, it looked fine. There was a roadside berry fruitiness but not a 'Daddies' fruitiness. Slight malty sweetness throughout, but not as interesting as I had hoped for.

Hand-pulled cask pint in The Imperial (a Wetherspoon's in Exeter) on 28th Sep 2019. Golden/amber body, white crown. Resinous hop nose and initial taste, semi-sweet malty base, some citrus notes come late. Liked it.

Bottle from the Shops at Dartington. Appearance - golden amber with a generous fluffy off white head. Nose - lightly cheesey and then a green resin note that's also quite salty and a bit like duke. Taste - creamy fudge but not a lot else. Palate - creamy and close to medium bodied. Dry finish. Overall - so so.

Bottle from the Shops at Dartington. Appearance - golden with a nicely proportioned head. Nose - creamy and almost lightly cheesey. Some grassiness. Taste - still a touch of cheese plus grassiness again. Palate - creamy and light bodied. Dry but somehow not refreshing. Overall - not sure it's in quite the condition the brewer would've hoped.
