Handpull cask from the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Very dark gold, almost bronze, with the slightest reddening hue. Do we with some white head on top. Lots of lacing. Light smell of hay with floral notes, a bit of TCP, some agave syrup. Bitter taste with an astringency that sticks to the roof of your mouth. Some sticky honey in the finish. Not bad but unremarkable and a bit harsh.

Handpull cask at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Light grainy aroma with apple skin overtones. Sweet taste with a sour bitter edge at the finish. Long finish with physalis and white grape. Oily body. Pretty basic stuff but it works.

Handpull cask at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Blonde, clear with a bit of white head and lots of fully lacing. Medicinal and somewhat metallic smell with husky grain. Sweet taste with honey and agave syrup turning bitter for the dry hoppy finish. Long grainy aftertaste with bitterness lingering on the tongue. Not the best beer but it's an admittedly tough style.

Handpull cask at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Amber, hazy at first but quickly clearing, with a filmy white head. Nutty aroma, touch of sulphur, with toast and earthy character. Bittersweet taste, herbal floral notes in the finish. Caramel and suggestions of watercress in the aftertaste. Thin body. A bit disappointing.

Handpull tap from the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Light gold, clear, with only tiny wisps of head. Malty smell, some orange peel, a bit of musty character on the gentle nose. Taste is bittersweet with a hint of sulphur straight off, rounding into fruity bitter hop for the finish. More astringency, dried apricot and golden syrup in the aftertaste. A delicious traditional bitter.

Handpull cask at the White Hart, Loughborough. Blonde, clear with lots of lacing. Raw grain, cardboard, hay and grass in the aroma. Sweet taste with more grainy notes. Acidity on the long finish. Not for me.
