Draught of some kind at The Wolf on the Corner, Eastbourne. The smell was deep and oaky, with hints of spilled red wine. Orange, caramel, flat appearence. Dry copella apple juice flavour. Very dry finish with a decent amount of sourness.

Sample at The Wolf on the Corner, Eastbourne. Cheesy aroma. Light haze. Extremely bitter for the body that it has. Not convinced.

Keg at The Wolf on the Corner, Eastbourne. This was of course rather tasty but it felt quite ribena'y. Flat copper look. Too easy finish.

Keg at The Wolf on the Corner, Eastbourne. This was all rather lovely. Light haze, light and fresh profile. Did what you would want from it - good use of hoppage.

Cask at The Eight Bells, Jevington. Strong banana flavour to this with also hint of sweet peaches. Peachy colour. Didn't really do it for me.

Can from Middle Farm, Alfriston. Interesting how the aroma is a in the end a bit like a NZ pale ale as you blend these US and British varieties. Interesting sweet with a good hop backing. Complex.

Can from Middle Farm, Alfriston. Light floral hop nose. Weak look. Very fresh ale with potential on cask I bet. Elderflower.

Can from Systembolaget. Classic brown ale aroma. Not too heavy which was nice but rather dull all in all.
