Handpull cask at the University Arms, Sheffield. Pinkish Red, clear with an off-white (with a soupçon of pink) head. It's got a lovely strawberries and cream aroma. Unfortunately this doesn't translate into the taste, which is medicinal with notes of straw and sulphur. There's some fruit buried way down here somewhere but my tongue isn't digging it out. Bitterness in the finish. Astringent. Light body with some sparkler-induced carbonation. Not my cup of tea, tastes like a boring beer infused with strawberry and it doesn't really work.

Bottle from my mate at work. Apricot & orange marmalade aromas. Similar approach in the taste. Quite a malty sweet number. Not bad.
