Cask at Bird in hand, Stafford. Pours a cloudy orange with a small white head and good lacing. Just some traces of oranges in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet and tangy with floral hops and summer fruits to the fore, hints of grapefruit, and a caramel base underneath. There’s a fair degree of carbonation here as well, and the finish is somewhat bitter. Not at all bad – though difficult to categorise.

Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford. Pours a golden amber with a small white head and good lacing. Aroma is fairly vague - just traces of grains and autumn fruits. Much more immediate in the mouth though where it is bitter and hoppy with plenty of flavour. Traditional hops, marmalade and golden syrup are all there, plus hints of pine. Some sweetness right at the start, but this soon vanishes. Finish is bitter and dry. This is very drinkable. PS this is NOT a bitter – it’s an IPA !!

Keg at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Dark brown with a tan ring of head. Smells of tropical fruit, chocolate malts, brown paper, a bit of sick. Tastes sickly with a sour kickback. Not nice at all. Sourish finish. Wrong on every level.
