Cask. Rutland Arms, Sheffield. Hazy, dark brown. Bubbly, messy, sticky, tan head. Chocolately, roast coffee bean malts. Grassy hop. Bit of a brûléed grapefruit thing going on. I think I get the mango, but probably because I’m looking for it. Drinks smooth, full, with the mango / papaya now coming through, providing a juicy, sweet element. Finishes long, light bitter. Some of that sweetness hangs on until the end. Nice one.

Bottle shared at the Cotteridge Convention 2015. Pours light hazy yellow with a foamy white. The nose holds dry citrus and white pepper. Light sweet flavor with heavy minerals, lemon rind, hay. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly sweet on the finish with more heavy and distracting minerals, some pithy citrus. Not bad.

Cask @ Grove Inn, Huddersfield. Dark clear reddish-brown with a frothy off-white head. Strong but its taste feels quite thin with some pale malts evident in its nose and less in its taste - fused with a darker, almost roasted malts. Carries a light sweetness.
