Handpull cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Brownish gold and clear with a loose white head. Light, sweetish aroma with orange peel and a little TCP. Sweet taste, fruited caramel with some astringent almost sulphurous notes. Long balanced finish... I say balanced but the astringency sticks in the back if the throat and the the bittering hops flutter about the tongue. Flat, thick body English as fuck. Maybe too much so, although I'm enjoying it, it isn't their best beer.
