Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Dark gold, crystal clear with an uneven off-white head. Aroma is very muted. A little caramel, a little ripe citrus. Taste is sweet, quite malty with some strong iced tea, some orange peel. Bitter hop oil in the finish. Not a lot to it really, but certainly drinkable.

Cask at Exeter Arms, Derby. Pours a golden amber with minimal off-white head and good lacing. There’s a vague aroma of tropical fruits and traditional hops. Hops are more to the fore in the mouth, but the overall effect is still sweetness and autumn fruits. Some traces of corn, grain and spices too. Finish is bitter, fruity and slightly dry. A very nice beer indeed, but a bit more of a traditional bitter than an IPA.
