Draught keg at rhe Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Light gold and hazy with a ring of white head and gentle lacing. Light aroma of apricot, vanilla malt. Taste is more intense, with a sweet and almost savoury stone fruit character oblverlain with bittersweet pink grapefruit. Finishes bitter with vanilla and mastic in the aftertaste. Light body with incredible carbonation. Interesting stuff.

Keg draught at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Light yellow, maybe just a little bit hazy and a small ring of white head. Light citrus and herbal aroma. Lemon balm, citrus, grassy notes. Taste is nicely subtle, a good lemon zest flavour. Neither too sour nor too sweet. Light to medium body with zesty carbonation. Good all in all.

Keg draught at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Very light gold, hazy with a slightly scummy white head. Stone fruit aroma, a little bit of citrus, slight astringent. Taste is sweet but not impossibly so, some apricot, orange, lychee. A slightly savoury malty balance. Body is watery as hell and carbonated as hell.

[Cask at the Nags Head, Reading.] A slightly hazy pale amber pour with a ring of white head; fruity aroma; dry with a tropical fruit taste to start; then a herbal bitterness. Very tasty.
