Gravity cask at the Real Ale Classroom, Stoneygate, Leicester. Light yellow and hazy, with a loose ring of white head.the aroma is big on pineapple with suggestions of mango, orange and melon. Sweet taste, very hoppy - I'm getting a lot of melon rind here, some malty Horlicks. Thin but slightly creamy body, no carbonation. A lively hoppy beer from Shiny.

Keg at the Harrogate Tap. Light to mid-gold, hazy with a small uneven white head leaving a reasonable amount of lacing. Neat little aroma of grapefruit, orchard fruit, herbal notes and Advocaat. Taste is balanced with the sweetness quite quickly giving way to a heady bitterness which follows through to the finish. Stodgy little body with carbonation slightly on the soft side. Very different from most pales and worth a try.

Cask at Ship Aground, Stafford. Pours a cloudy dark brown with a small foamy cream head. There’s bananas, bugglegum and chewy strawberry in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet and creamy with flavours of toffee, fudge, banana, cola and butterscotch. Maybe some hints of malts as well. Finish is slightly dry. The is nice enough, but it’s a gimmick rather than a beer !
