Handpull cask from the Blue Boar, Leicester. Deep mid-gold and clear with a soapy off-white head. Ann odd aroma - a bit buttery and floral with light pineapple hiding behind. Sweet taste with a touch of mustiness and light bitterness toward the finish. Slightly soapy aftertaste. Overall a very tame pale which isn't bad but is a little disappointing when put head to head with the best NZ pales (or indeed the best of Ashover's output).
