330ml bottle bought from the Offie, Leicester and drunk at home. Mid-brown, a little bit translucent with a good-sized layer of khaki head. Aroma of figs, raisins, some anise. Taste is mostly sweet backed by a lightly astringent bitterness which takes it through to the long finish. Notes of dark caramel in the aftertaste. Body on the light side with loads of carbonation. Love it!

US pint bought as part of a delivery from Bwers of America and drunk at home. Light to midgold, mostly clear with a small ring of white head. Honey, golden sponge cake, light vanilla on the nose. Sweet taste, more honey, light bready notes, sweet spice. Some astringency on the finish. Medium to heavy carbonation. Pretty basic stuff but not bas.

Keg draught at North Laine brewpub, Brighton. Light yellow, hazy with a small ring of white head. Sweet lemon sugar aroma, not much else. Taste is also sweet with a sour hard citrus twist. Light body with extremely heavy carbonation. Very one-dimensional and far too sweet but refreshing on a sunny day.

This is a neat little place. I think the original pub is called the Hampton but it has been reworked into a craft beer & Indian food joint called 'Easy Tiger'. Only one cask but 12 keg, some of which is macro but probably 8 or 9 are certainly worthy. A lot of beers available from local breweries such as Only With Love, Beak, Loud Shirt. Styles and ABVs vary as well, so you can get your strong beers or keep it sessionable.

Keg draught at the Hare & Hounds, Brighton. Fairly light gold and hazy with a small ring of white head and fair lacing. Apricot and white grapefruit in the aroma with some malt giving more character. Sweet taste, the fruity hop doesn't run away with it, it's hot a good biscuity malt backbone. Medium body with heavy carbonation. A bit generic but better than most 'generic' pales. A lot more character here.
