Draught keg at Vine Street Tap and Bottle. Pinkish orange and mostly clear with an uneven pinkish white head. Smells like a posh orange soda. The orange and lemon/lime character, along with a touch of pink grapefruit, seem to be coming through very well. Taste is just too sweet, and I like sweet beer. Yes it is a radler but my goodness. Short finish and light body with pretty heavy carbonation. It is a good summer drink with nice orange flavour, but yes quite sweet as I may have mentioned!

Msn this place is tiny. I was trying to work out how many it would seat, maybe 25 with the couple of tables outside. Another bar that you would find without looking for it. The tap list is also small - four beers - plus a few interesting bottles (including some 750ml sours for over £20). The tap list has Beak x2, Vault City, and Weekend Project. I opted for the Vault City radler which was fine. Prices maybe a wee bit high. Still very much worth a look in.

Keg draught at BrewDog Brighton. Dark gold and cloudy with a thin uneven white head. Aroma is horse blanket funk, light musty citrus. Tastes really funky but not outright sour. Very overripe citrus. More sourness appears closer to the finish. Stings a little in the back if the throat. Medium body with almost no carbonation. A great experience but perhaps a beer to be respected rather than loved?

Pretty good BrewDog as BrewDog goes these days. It's almost empty on an early Frisay afternoon whereas other venues are filling up. It's pretty large, with 27 beers on tap (18 BD, 9 guests). I always try to pop into a BrewDog as they often have something interesting on, and today I got a Jester King saison so that's pretty good. Otherwise a bit soulless although I can't fault it. Prices a tad bit more than they should be.

Another outstanding beer pub in Brighton (I am not surprised but I am having trouble keeping up). It's laid back, a little BoHo with shabby wooden furniture. A smallish room with a bar on one side. There are four cask and a row of 12 keg, plug various keg choices (German and English craft lagers) dotted on the bar. Some of them toy will have had before but there will be plenty of ticks to be tried, not least the beers from their own brewery (mostly in cask but a couple in keg here). Prices are reasonable for Brighton. Definitely would recommend.

Keg draught at Brighton Bierhaus. Mid- to dark chocolate brown, translucent with a tight beige head. Light aroma of chocolate, a little bit of hazelnut, touch of oak. The taste is mostly sweet with some bitterness, with flavours of liquorice and milk chocolate. Long finish is fairly bitter. Soft body with medium carbonation. Really good but a trifle timid.

Another top, top venue in Brighton. This one, you won't find unless you're looking for it. It's small and unassuming, just a regular back street local. Except the beer: 4 cask, 11 keg, 3 cider. Holy Giat, Verdant, Fuerst Wiacek, The Kernel. Every beer is one you would want to drink. Prices are reasonable enough for the area. This is another 'do not miss' pub. Oh and they offer a Buckie Negroni!

Draught keg at the Hole in the Wall, Brighton. Lightish gold and a little hazy with a small uneven white head. Some light funk, lime, kumquat. Gentle sour taste with lashings of hard citrus which hits through toothed lingerie finish. More lime and possibly some pineapple in the aftertaste. Pretty good if a tiny bit tame.

Draught keg at the Wsst Tap, Brighton. Mid-gold, a littlebit of haze with a small white head. Light put Pleasant aroma of grasses and fresh oranges. Taste is Light but pleasant too: not too heavy but enough hop to give it character. Rounded finish with tropical fruit. Well-carbonated to lift the body. For a low alcohol beer this is exceptional.
