Keg at Den Gode Nabo, Trondheim. Shame there wans't much left. Wet malt on the nose. Grew on you as you drunk it - a light and refreshing pale ale for the abv. (25/7/25).

Cask at The Crown, Blackheath. Supposedly too low abv to be entered as an IPA but I would say it certainly felt IPA enough. It was a tad on the sweet side. Gold pour. Citrus.

Can from Middle Farm, Alfriston. Bit thin at the start but a thumping bitterness that is debatabley well placed. Fresh.

Can from Lidl. Sweet nose. Clear gold. Thin. Just enough going for it to make it drinkable.

Can from the brewery shop, Lewes. Ticks the necessary pale ale boxes with enough hop to get by but it comes across as too close to a bitter in the ending. Percentage shows sadly.

Keg at The Cornishman in Crantock. Bit sweet and macro aroma. Light floral flavour that made it a treat in the sunshine.
