Gravity cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Mid-gold and clear with a frothy white head. Big Mosaic aroma of blueberry and stone fruit. Tastes sweet but it's short-lived. The finish is short and fairly watery, not impossibly so but it's a little disappointing. So marks off for that, but it's still an excellent pale.
