Cask at The Wellington, Birmingham. Crystal clear gold with small white head. Clean, fairly sweet malt with some floral and mandarin notes. Light but slick with a prickly carbonation. No huge flavours but pleasant and extremely sessionable.

Cask at Head of Steam, Birmingham. Clear light gold with small white top, good lacing. This one had notes of biscuit, a mild yeasty sour stone fruit and a moderate bitter hop. Medium bodied, semi-drying. Pleasant enough but I think they need to up their game with pale cask offerings - too many are middle of the cycle lane.

Cask at Prince of Wales, Birmingham. Crystal clear gold with small white head. Sweet grape and biscuit notes. Light, semi-drying. Thin in taste. Disappointing, I've had some very good beers from this brewery but this isn't one of them.

Can from Hop Vault, Stourbridge, online. Pours a dark cloudy gold with small white head, nice retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel, citrus, zest, apricot. Taste of caramel, biscuit, pineapple, dried tropical fruit, light bitterness. Very smooth medium body gives it nice texture. Quite a malty IPA in truth but enjoyable.

Cask at Craven Arms, Birmingham. Black with small beige head. Roasted malt, brown sugar, coffee, blackcurrant, milk, bitter finish. Medium bodied smooth. Good level of complexity to this, maybe a touch too sweet which is the only thing stopping it being a cracking stout.
