Gravity cask at the Real Ale Classroom, Stoneygate, Leicester. Light to mid-gold, ever-so-slightly hazy with a creamy white head. Aroma of banana, candy sugar, soft citrus in the aroma. Tastes sweet at first, then it morphs into a bitterness with astringent character. Finish s dry and slightly medicinal, with the bitterness obscuring any individual flavours in the aftertaste. Full body with light natural carbonation. Decent but doesn't blow me away.

Can from Fresh Fields Croydon. It pours cloudy orange with a medium white head. The aroma is rich, sweet, sticky, oily, apricot, persimmon, marmalade, Irn bru and piney action. The taste is slick, dry, oily, some bitterness, raw pine, resin, warming alcohol, apricot, nectarine, persimmon, pithy citrus and a touch of spice. Finish is drying and linger. Medium body and fine, massaging carbonation. Rich and oily. Pretty tasty stuff. Maybe a bit heavy, but it is enjoyable.

Can from Bridgend Services. Hazy amber body with a thin white head. Lively carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of caramel and pine. Flavour of orange and peanut shell. Thin body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Soft fizz. A bit underwhelming.

Can. No hop list. Hazy amber beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is airy, semi dry has decent fine carbonation. Light malts, semi dry and sweetish. Smooth piney hop, nice light hop spice. Spicy orange and mild orange peel. Trace of red berries into good ripe tropical fruits. Some hop skunk on the end. Spicy hop linger. Good stuff.
