thejackpacker Profile

Cask at Bibendum, Eastbourne. Pleasant aroma. Thick deep caramel gold with thick foam. Gorgeous flavour, especially to start with but it was quite sweet so over time you felt you'd had enough.

Can at home. Christmas present. This was a delightful fresh pale ale that gave NZ hop back up to a light drinkable PA.

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.
