Cask at Great Western, Wolverhampton. Pours a slightly hazy golden amber with a sizeable off-white head. There’s a hoppy aroma of the traditional kind. In the mouth it is quite bitter with a creamy texture. Flavour has traditional hops, malts, oranges, biscuits and hints of mango. Bitterness lasts into the slightly dry finish. This is decent enough.

Cask at the Park Inn, Woodsetton. Pours gold with a small head. Aroma is straw and bread, taste is the same. Pretty simple but drinkable.

Cask@The Pineapple. Amber colour with a mediumsized foamy off-white head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is caramel, some fruity and floral tones with mild wood. Flavour is bready, floral, some tropical fruits and mild herbal tones to it. Pleasantly balanced.

Hmm. Not generally a fan of Pilsners (though with numerous exceptions!) but this is actually quite good. Quality brewer = quality beer. Mostly....

An unusual foray for Holdens - a sort of light mild. Up to their usual quality though!

Cask at Great Western, Wolverhampton. Pours a dark reddish-brown with a small scummy off-white head and good lacing. There’s definitely bacon in the aroma, along with malts and some hints of chocolate. Roast malts again in the mouth, along with floral hops, honey and traces of treacle. Later on some vanilla comes through as well. Finish is slightly bitter. This is rather nice – though it’s not really a full blown Black IPA – nowhere near hoppy enough.
