Bottle at Gurkha restaurant, Barnstaple. A relatively clean and well rounded lager. Goes well to tame spice of these lovely momos.

Cask at The Water Gate (JDW), Barnstaple. Not much aroma to speak of. Woody smoke / julmust vibes. Caramel. Boring.

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.

Cask at The Anchor, Hartland. Sold as Amber. Golden, or at least light amber. Clean with a touch of grass. Decent.
