Cask at Virgins & Castle, Kenilworth. My first try at an Everards beer. Clear amber brown with creamy off white head. Caramel malt, quite sweet and nutty but a reasonable grassy hop bite for the style. Smooth, semi-drying. Good bitter.

Cask at Bod, Alsager (not yet listed on RateBeer) – as Old Original. Pours a hazy bright copper with minimal off-white head and good lacing. Bit of a strange aroma of brown sauce with some traditional hops thrown in. In the mouth it’s a bit hard to nail down, as almost every sip is different ! It starts off as bitter and fruity with flavour of nuts to the fore. Subsequent tastings give walnuts, marmalade, maple, hints of ginger and some underlying sweetness – not necessarily in that order. Finish is dry and slightly bitter. Despite it all, this is a decent beer.

Cask at the Globe, Leicester. Dark amber with a thin white head. Light malty smell. Perhaps some overripe citrus. Sweetish malty taste with some bitterness in the finish. Lingering bitterness in the aftertaste. Pleasant enough but not a whole lot of personality.
