Cask at Borough Arms, Crewe. Pours a deep ruby red with minimal off-white head. Berry fruits are the mainstay of the aroma with some slight hoppiness, In the mouth it is juicy, fruity and slightly sweet, with cherries and malt flavouring plus some traces of floral hops and caramel. Finish is fruity. Reasonable, but lacking in oomph !

[Cask at the Nags Head, Reading.] A pale chestnut pour with a rim of beige head; hedgerow hop aroma; earthy malt taste with some caramel and red fruit; and a tangy fruity finish. An unusual twist on a mild.
