Handpull cask at the Mill, Cambridge. Light golden and clear, with a spotty white head and a fair bit of lacing. Light aroma: I’m not getting much coriander - there’s a little but it’s not prominent - although the main characteristic is herbal, plus there’s some gentle citrus hoppy notes. Taste is pleasantly bitter, although it’s a bit jarring on the tongue. Sweeter in the finish, then there’s coriander and wine gum on the aftertaste. Refreshing. Not perfect but an inoffensive thirst quencher.

Handpull cask at the Cambridge Blue. Dark gold and clear, with a tiny bit of loose off-white head. Leafy hops, golden syrup, tangerine peel on the nose. Bittersweet taste with a citrussy sour flavour and a heavy acrid note. Long finish with woody, fruity and medicinal characteristics to the aftertaste. Body is oily and flat. Not all bad, but an example of a good brewery struggling with what is (in my opinion) a difficult style, especially in cask.

Really top
