Growler from LCB. New brewery for me (#1005). Clear dark gold/light amber with thin white top. Biscuit and caramel like malt with minerals and sweet apricot puree on the nose. Taste has a biscuit and wafer malt quality to it with tangy citrus and light apricot, quite bitter with light hop resin. Semi drying mineral water quality to it also. Near medium bodied, slick. Certainly malty but quite a hoppy finish makes this an English IPA rather than the ESBs they sometimes are in reality. .

Cask growler from Low Cost Beer. Appearance - golden and clear, fairly flat. Nose - skunky and grassy. Also, sweet caramel and lemon. Taste - lemon, spice and caramel. Palate - light to medium bodied, tangy, spicy and a little sweet. Overall - this wasn't in the condition it would've been in at a cask pub local to the brewery. I hope to try it again in better condition.

Handpull cask at the Ale Wagon, Leicester. Dark orange/ gold with a small uneven white head. Light aroma, some malty notes and overripe tangerine. Balanced taste weighed down by an astringent which becomes more prominent in the finish and bitter aftertaste. Firm oily body with little carbonation. Well put together.
