Keg at the Eurovision Village, Vienna. A drinkable, cloudy lager that didn't show up any badness. Rating poor due to events. (12/5/26)..

Cask / bag at the Royal Oak, Luxborough. Leaving my review mostly to Anna given my senses were gone today. Over ripe apples on the nose and profile. Rather dry ending. Lovely light haze.

Keg at The Rising Sun ,West Bagborough. Bubblegum strong on the nose and in the flavour. Comes across a little sweet for the supposed maturity. Not too mature or fresh. Ok.

Cask at The Crown, Exford. A creamy middling bitter pale ale. Sadly tasting affected by dulled senses. Almost nitro like foam. (20/5/26).

Can from Systembolaget. This was delicious. Light, hoppy and very drinkable. On point for the style. (16/5/26).

Keg at The Rising Sun, West Bagborough. Light soapy pale smell. Deep gold look. It's weak as you'd expect but it's alright. Easy drinking but not much joy despite some soapy west coast notes.

Keg at The Crown, Exford. Sweet with a definite boozy edge. Lively carbonation.

Tap at the brauhof, Vienna. Prominent fruity aroma. Very lively with deep amber gold. Not much to write about flavour but clean. Nothing negative here for a style that sometimes comes across as too thick..
