Draught keg at the Castle, Leicester. Light to mid-gold with a large (but fairly quickly dissipating) cream-coloured head. Spicy aroma, very tea-y and floral. Dried grasses and definitely loads of Earl Grey. Taste is a fucking revelation with the initial sweetness dampened by the drying quilts of the aromatics. Overstewed tea in the finish. Light body with medium carbonation. A great beer, I'm assuming it's a hangover from Pride month (if so, bog kudos to Shiny for producing an event beer that isn't just a throwaway).

25/6/2026. Cask at a very hot Dove Street Inn Summer Beer Festival 2026. Decent pour. Lots of citrus. Good bitterness. Drying. Very nice. And it’s gluten free!

Draught keg at the Castle, Leicester. Light yellow/gold, hazy with a fluffy white head. Scent of lemon, vanilla, grapefruit, cantaloupe. Sweet, sugary taste with a decent dollop of malt. Bitterness soon stakes a claim leading to a nice balance for the finish. Grapefruit oils in the aftertaste. Lighter body, carbonation is a bit heavy. Love this one. A tiny vegetal note in the initial sip otherwise the score would be pushing 8.

Keg draught at the Real Ale Classroom, Leicester city centre. Pours very, very dark brown with the thin khaki head and lots of lacing. Aroma of chocolate, a little Marmite, a little marshmallow. Taste starts with a sweet/savoury interplay with heavy caramel and salted molasses notes, turning very bitter toward the finish. Body stays on the light side with decent but not overpowering carbonation. For the ABV, I'd want more intensity, but it's enjoyable and complex.

Keg draught at the Real Ale Classroom, Leicester city centre. Light to mid-gold, hazy with a rocky and quickly dissipating white head. Citrus aroma with pineapple, and a brash metallic note. Tastes sweet at first, followed by an almost astringent bitterness. Finish is odd and artificial. Light to medium body with fairly intense carbonation. Struggles a bit with this one.
