Cask at Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours golden yellow with a small off-white head and good lacing. Tropical fruits and mango in the aroma. In the mouth it is slightly bitter and quite juicy. Floral hops and tropical fruits in the flavour, but the hops gradually come to dominate. Leading to a dry and bitter finish. It’s reasonable.

Handpull cask at the West End Brewery, Leicester as oart of their Oakham tap takeover. Light to mid-golden and clear with a little bit of white head. Pleasant fruity aroma with white grapefruit pith and lemon balm. Bittersweet taste, morevcitrus and a little bit of soap. An intense hop bitterness resting on the back of the tongue. Oily body, soft carbonation. Thus is Oakham back to their best.
