Cask. Chantry Inn, Handsworth, Sheffield. Clear gold. Super creamy, dense, fully lacing, lasting, bright white head. Looks like a perfect pint of hote. Smells clean and lightly hoppy. Fresh, and lightly bitter on the palate. Perfect nick. Can’t help but think this is a re-badge of something else, though. My guess is that Chantry do a bit of a Thornbridge in that respect. Good beer. I’m sure I’ve had it before, though.

Cask at Old Bell, Derby A heady combination of malts and cherries in the nose. Pours almost completely black with a small cream head. In the mouth cherries predominate with hints of raspberry and blackcurrant. Also vinegar – but in a good way. At the finish it is cherries again. Nice, but would have been better with less emphasis on the cherries !

Cask. Chantry Inn, Handsworth, Sheffield. Hoped this would be same league as Hop in the Wall, but it’s not. This is a fairly bog standard hote golde with a lot of leafy bitterness. Good nick and that, but didn’t warrant a second helping.
