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.

Cask at Victoria, Derby. Pours “bitter brown” with a small scummy off-white head but excellent lacing. The aroma has bitter hops and autumn fruits. In the mouth it is decidedly bitter with a juicy texture and flavours of traditional hops, marmalade and hints of spice. Some traces of nuts and mushy fruit come through later leading to a bitter sticky finish. This is quite nice – plenty of flavour.

Handpull cask at the Bull's Well, Bulwell. Light gold, clear with the tiniest white head. Metallic aroma with strong notes of orange peel. Sweet taste, little bit of caramel, notable bitterness in the finish. Light body with soft to nil carbonation. Really nice if a little bit artificial.

Cask at Exeter Arms, Derby. Pours a slightly hazy very pale straw (with a greenish tinge), with a small scummy off-white head and excellent lacing. There’s floral hops and gentle citrus in the aroma. The same combination in the mouth where it is juicy and overall hovers between sweet and sharp. Traces too of grapefruit, melon, lemon and spice. Sweetness wins out in the finish. This is decent – though not really cloudy enough to be classed as an NEIPA (thankfully !).

Hazy dull gold with a frothy white head and a haoppy aroma. Smooth and hoppy with a drop of citrus bitterness and a dry, slightly earthy finish.
