Handpull cask at the Ale Wagon, Leicester. Slightly reddish gold and clear with a small white head. Light sulphurous notes, some citrus pith, grassy notes. Taste is delicious with fruit punch flavours, some tannic tea, bready yeast. Odd beer and traditional to the core but hard not to dig it!

Handpull cask at the Ale Wagon, Leicester. Mid-gold, clear with a spotty white head. Aroma is really low, quite spicy with notes of orange peel. Mostly sweet taste with strong marmalade notes and a gently astringent bitter balance in the finish. Soft natural carbonation. A Cut Above your average UK golden.
