Cask at the tap in Brum. Clear amber. Thin foamy translucent off-white head. Aroma is indistinguishable over the lovely smelling food. Flavourwise, there is an initial spur citrus streak before sweet caramel sweeps through. Underlying malts. Light. Thin to slick. Soft carbonation has some liveliness. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Polite but unmemorable

Cask at The White Swan, Solihull. Cloudy light amber with small off white head. This one had a nice balance to it if a bit unassuming. Soft malts, modest bittering hops and some stone fruits without any tangy finish. Medium bodied, light chewiness and soft carbonation. Not bad.

Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours golden amber with a small off-white head and good lacing. Malts are the mainstay of the aroma, plus some hints of marmalade. Sweet and watery in the mouth with malts again prominent, alongside a fair dose of caramel and traces of orange and barley sugar. A little bitterness in the finish. This is reasonable though somewhat bland.

Clear gold/amber with a small bubbly white head and a sweet toffee malt and hoppy aroma. Sweet and malty up front with some leafy hops and hints of hedgerow fruits cutting in before a dry, bittersweet finish
