Draft @ Indian Brewery, Birmingham. Unsure if it was cask or keg. Assumed it was keg, as didn't state on the menu. Pours clear gold, receding white head. Not much aroma, flavour profile weak and insipid. Not much hoppy elements to grasp hold of. Really wasn't feeling this at all.

Keg pint at the Indian Brewery outlet in Birmingham on 25th January 2024, with Mat. Clean golden body, white stuff on top. Not a lot going on really, all a bit bland and uninteresting. We tried four of their beers while there and neither of us thought much to the beers, shame really.

Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Dark gold and clear with a small frothy white head. Aroma of boiled sweet, persimmon, white pepper. Taste sweet with some rounded citrus notes, more pepper. A slightly bitter finish. Not perfect but certainly different from your average IPA. And certainly worth a try.

On tap keg at the Indian Brewery. Birmingham - Pours a hazy orange gold colour with a mostly lasting, average sized white head. The aroma is orange peel, bready malts and a hint of pine. A moderately sweet and bitter taste, orange, grapefruit and light bready malt flavours with hoppy bitter finish.

Clear gold with a frothy white head and a sweetish fruity aroma. Smooth and silky mouthfeel, some light fruit notes, easy drinking but no real bitterness going on
