Cask @ Postal Order, Blackburn. Clear healthy golden with a creamy head. Hoppy session, easy enough, pleasant drinking. Fuller tasting in palate.

Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford. Pours pale gold with a small white head. The aroma is mainly sweet malts. Sweetness to the fore in the mouth as well, though there is also some underlying bitterness. Grains are the mainstay of the flavour at first, but some citrus and oranges come through later. Overall quite a juicy texture. Finish is slightly sweet. Nothing to write home about.
