Unusually light, agile, yet complex, Unicorn hasn’t changed in over a hundred years. It was originally brewed by Frederic for his father William, at the Unicorn Inn, from where the beer eventually took its name, and where the Robinsons Brewery still stands. Dripping with heritage, it’s a magnificent, thirst-quenching, thoroughbred bitter. The first of a bloodline that continues to this day.

[on draught at The Ship Inn, Dolgellau] This disappointed after having had their Top Tipple recently. This is a very average bitter, veering towards the sweet fruity side. Pretty unmemorable fare.

(Cask at Briton’s Protection, Manchester, 28 July) Colour is golden amber with firm white head. Nose is malty with some dark fruit, notes of dried apricots and orange peel. Taste is fruity with orange, mandarin and apricots, with some earthy/dusty hops in the balanced bitter finish. Good balance between sweetness and bitterness. Not really exciting, but I wouldn’t mind another one.

Cask: Copper coloured, medium-sized lacing off-white foam; yeasty, almost "wooden" aroma with a strong touch of sulphur and a distinctive herbal hoppiness; moderate bitter flavour; lingering, a bit yeasty and bitter finish. Not unpleasant..............

Cask in a J.D. Wetherspoon, London
Golden color. Light aroma of unmalted cereals and yeast. Poor taste, low strength, a bit stale; a lot of yeast. I suspect the cask is old.
