Evening. Sitting quietly talking breweriana with the Guv when a couple came in and the gent saw the beer board and said that Summer's Day was everywhere locally just like Gadds' No.5. Having doted on his recent reviews on this website I immediately knew it was Dosser! Stopped for a second pint to resolve all the, at least, beer problems of the world.
