Amber, with a good head as poured. Basic Bitter - probably a chain house ale? Couldn't see a brewery on the pump, or get close enough to take a picture, and the only one online is FarceBok so I can't view full size…

Peach gold. OK head as poured, with good retention and OK lacing. Basic Bitter. Still not sure about brewr (not on pump), but it seems likea Black Sheep house. Also, different ABV than I found online, don't know if that means it's a different beer or just a slightly differnt ABV...
