Cask at JDW EASTBOURNE. Lovely appley aroma, just like summa that. Good memories. Amber colour with lasting foam. I mean it's alright, close to summa that, but lacking profoundness..

Cask at JDW Eastbourne. Very nondescript aroma, slight vom, slight sweet Christmas pudding. Plain bitter look. Rather lovely flavour but not quite as gluggable as I like a bitter to be.

Can, most likely from Middle Farm, cheers Si. Probably a 2024 brew. Nice funky aroma with heavy lemon side. Thin gold look. Taste is like light geuze. Good, a tad thin but decent!

Cask at The Crown, Eastbourne. Literally like drinking liquid toffee. Aroma was just soo much like it. Sure it's very sweet but you knew that. It's great!

Cask at The Crown, Eastbourne. End of summer eh - more like Christmas Eve, and thank god cus it delivers!! Hoppy nose, weak colour but gorgeous spot on pale ale NZ flavour with plenty of grass finish. One of the best cask ales I've had....noted that it was on sale in Spoons even - for that price, that's a steal!!

Can, probably from Middle Farm. Fresh hoppy aroma. Quite thin with a fair amount of sediment. Classic session pale, dry hopped flavour with slightly mouth stripping bitterness. Decent.
