Cask at Bird in Hand, Stafford. Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow with a small white head and good lacing. There’s a strong aroma of chewy strawberry sweets. It the mouth it is smooth and sweet, but with some underlying bitterness. Strawberries are the main flavour for some sips – but are missing from others ! There’s some malts and caramel plus hints of ginger, with lemon coming into the equation later on. Finish is slightly bitter. This is nice enough, but the strawberry seems rather artificial.

Cask @ Flying Horse Hotel, Rochdale. Golden with a creamy head. Has an aroma akin to a fruit beer from Flanders and there’s plenty of strawberry in its taste as well, although the texture is familiarly ale-like.
