Tap at the Wild Boar, Warwick. Poured a crystal clear golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, tropical citrus. The flavour is moderate sweet and bitter, with a crisp, juicy tutti frutti, pineapple citrus, mineral, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Draught keg at the Marquis Wellington, Leicester. Dark brown, noticeably tranucent with a thick off-white head and lots of creamy lacing. Chocolate malty notes in the aroma with noted of aniseed. Sweet chocolate malt with bitterness fro liquorice and stone fruit character. Long balanced finish. Heavy carbonation. It's a bit odd but I like it.

Handpull cask at the Old Horse, Leicester. Light gold and clear with a frothy white head on top. Light grassy and floral note in the aroma, it is pleasant but really needs turning up a notch or three. Bittersweet taste with the hop bitterness just about peeking through in the finish. This beer just doesn't have enough flavour for my liking.

On draught at the Everards Beer Hall. Caramel brown with a film of white head. Light aroma of caramel, orange peel, a hint of sweet spice. Its fairly sweet with a touch of bitter bite back, with a short finish. Watery body with heavy carbonation. Now, I like Tiger. It's a decent copper bitter. I'm wondering 1) what the point of a Tiger Reserve is when it's just 0.3% stronger than the original, 2) how they managed to make it taste weaker than the original.

Keg at the Everards Beer Hall as Tank Lager #1, listed at 3.8% ABV. Light yellow, clear with a small film of white head. Light lemony aroma with notes of hay. Delicious refreshing taste with fresh lemon zest and honey. Light finish with grassy and character in the aftertaste. A decent lager well worth trying.

Keg tap at Everards Beer Hall as a limited edition beer. It's pinkish and a little hazy with a film of pink head. Light aroma of rosé wine, strawberries and redcurrant. Taste is sweet at first with a slight tartness leading to a short finish. Body is pretty watery but fizzy carbonation makes up for that. Very little to it but pleasant enough.

Can’t believe I’ve not rated this before, but here goes. Cask at Five Lamps, Derby. Pours the classic bitter brown with a small frothy white head. Malts and biscuits in the aroma. Sweet and malty in the mouth with caramel coming through. Traces of hops and pepper can be found if searched for. Finish is fairly dry. Pretty bland to say the least.

Handpull cask at the Marquis Wellington, Leicester. Light yellow, bordering on straw with a big white head. Scent of white grapefruit with lemon notes among the backdrop of breads malt. The sweet taste is balanced by a fruity hop, followed by light bitterness in the finish. Notes of hay in the aftertaste. Who says the big regionals can't brew? For what it is, this is spot on.

A mate is from Leicester so have had this historical ticks number of times when visiting him. Is it also the beer they have on at the rugby ground but rebadged?
