Cask at Brunswick, Derby. Pours “bitter brown” with a small off-white head. There’s malts and honey in the aroma. In the mouth it fluctuates between sweetness and bitterness, but is constantly watery. Traditional hops to the fore in the flavour along with hints of alcoholic strength, berry fruits and caramel. Finish leans more towards bitterness. It’s reasonable.

On cask at Mr Grundy’s Derby - A ruby coloured beer with a decent white head that laces throughout. The aroma has good fruits with blackcurrants, cranberries and raspberries (not sure really, there is something else there) seeming to stand out. The taste is fruits and malts with more berries. Good body and very tasty. Hero beer of the day.
