Cask at The Village Inn, Westward Ho! Plain aroma. Reddish colour. Homely flavour like an English strong ale without the booze - aka ESB vibes! Easy with gentle spice to it.

Cask at The Anchor, Hartland. Aroma ain't great but that might just be the stinky table I'm at. Otherwise this was a great cask pale ale that gave some hops etc.
