Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford. Pours a golden yellow with a small white head and good lacing. Has a vague aroma of oranges. Summer fruits are the first thing that arrive in the mouth. Then the creamy texture is noticed, and flavours resolve into oranges, caramel and hints of traeacle. Finish is sweet and fruity. This is quite nice.

Cask at Bird in Hand, Stafford Pours a golden yellow with a foamy white head. Nose has yeast and general citrus. Texture is bitter with floral hops and traces of lemon. Not much else there though. Some citrus again in the finish. Pretty forgettable really.

Cask at the Waggon & Horses, Stourbridge. Pours gold with a small head. Aroma is cheesy cinnamon hops. Taste is grainy to start with a herbal cinnamon finish. A bit odd.
