Handpull cask at the Old Horse, Leicester. Ruby brown, clear as a bell, with a cream-coloured, erm... tight head. Light malty notes in the aroma, a bit of berry and sour woody notes. Tastes quite good, it's sweet with a light bitter sourness from the mellow fruity, leafy hop. More berry notes in the aftertaste with a very slight astringency. Soft but by no means absent carbonation. It's basic but pretty good, and in great condition.

Cask @ White Swan, Hebden Bridge. Deep copper-red with a creamy head. Has some metallic-malts in its nose, with a more steady malt taste. There’s some hops but it’s very much a bitter in style and taste with a medium bitterness.

8th Feb 2014. Hand-pulled pint in The Church, just around the corner from the Two Towers Brewery in Birmingham (UK), which is where I was going next. Clean reddy brown body with a head that wasn’t tight at all (Rugby type joke). I liked the look of it. The whole brew is dominated by semi-sweet malty molasses, this isn’t a hoppy beer in any way. I’ve a sweet tooth, so I enjoyed my pint. It is however one dimensional with the maltiness hardly being kept in check, a winter time beer to be drank in front of a roaring fire with slippers on.
