Multiple pints before and after City matches in the 90s, largely at the Victory on the Welford Road and also at the Robert Peel. Decent enough malt forward ESB with fruit cake and toffee elements. Always preferred Tiger though... a little more sessionable and drinkable.

Cask from Virgins & Castle, Kenilworth. A light pale with smooth white head. Light bodied, cracker like malt with a lemon citric note some resin grassiness, fairly crisp but a bit cloying oddly. Not the tastiest of golden ales.

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 Brunswick, Derby. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with minimal cream head. Roasted malts are the mainstay of the aroma – plus some tarry hints. In the mouth it is s;ighty sweet with a soft and creamy texture. Plenty of roasted malts and quite a bit of caramel too. Later on there are hints of dark fruits and crusty bread as well. Sweetness lasts into the finish. This is quite reasonable – though difficult to categorise.

Handpull cask at the Rutland & Derby, Leicester. Brownish gold, clear with a tight beige head and loads of lacing. Malty aroma. There's some lovely grape and apricot hop notes underneath but it's buried under all that malt. Off taste. Bittersweet, a touch of vinegar, again some hidden apricot. Finish is a little more bitter but it never leaves the mid sphere. Medium body with soft carbonation.

Cask at Five Lamps, Derby. Pours a rich ruby with a small off-white head.. There’s a pleasant earthy aroma with malts and crusty bread. In the mouth it is sweet but with a little underlying bitterness. Flavour of dark fruits, malts and dye. Later on some raisins come through plus hints of honey and cloves leading to a rather fruity finish. This is entirely reasonable – but lacks a little something to make it special.
