Cask at White Hart, Chobham. Sweet fruit aroma, but with a soggy cardboard edge. Copper res. Middling blotchy off-white head. Sweet (berries, plums, etc) but a maltyness creeps in and almost takes over. Light-medium bodied. Soft carb. Long finish. Enjoyable enough but I'd prefer more character. Again, soggy.

Cask @ Pie & Ale, Manchester. Blonde with a small creamy head. Has a soapy-floral nose with some strawberry here. Has an undistinguished dryish-floral taste, although the strength of the ale is clearly a factor in proceedings.

330ml can @ Blind Tiger, Shrewsbury. Pours hazy orange, although hard to tell in these dimly lit environs. Taste presents a welcome sweet, hoppy character with bubblegummy shades, and additional apricot and grapefruit notes. Good stuff.

330ml can @ Blind Tiger, Shrewsbury. Appearance is unclear as room was dark, but it seemed to be a dark purple colour, minimal head. Aroma contains a good amount of pure, sweet blueberries. Taste similar contains more blueberry than I recall from any beer before. Sour edge is light and crisp, focussing instead on that lovely blueberry fruit that takes over the palate. Pretty good.

Handpull cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Dark, dark brown, opaque, with a loose ring of khaki head. Coffee and chocolate notes with some basil and poppyseed. Bittersweet and herbal taste, with the sweetness asserting itself more in the finish, but never losing the balancing bitter bite. Sweet/savoury herbal touches in the aftertaste alongside coffee and liquorice. A fuckin’ masterpiece.

Cask at the Bell, Waltham St Lawrence. Pale amber with a ring of cream head; leafy fruity aroma, with peach and berries; fresh taste of blackcurrant leafs, with a firm tropical fruit bitterness; and a dry finish. Satisfyingly hoppy.
