Cask @ The Grove, Huddersfield. Hardly a stout given the caramel is extremely dominant here, there’s hardly any roasted malts. It’s sweet enough tasting in a travelling carnival sense and has an aroma to match this. Sugary but good.

Can at the Babington Arms, Derby. Mid- to dark gold, with little obvious carbonation or head. There certainly is a gentle scent of apricot but not much else. Taste is pleasantly bittersweet and fruity. Simple apricot sweet/sour finish. Not a lot going on but what there is, I like.

Cask handpull at London Tavern Margate. Clear gold lasting white head. some citrus some fleshy fruit pulp flavours. Quite entertaining for a 3.6% beer. Some dryness on the finish. Like licking lemon and lime skins. Decent

On cask at the White Cross in Lancaster. Appearance - golden with a decent head. Nose - very faint note of caramel but raspberries dominant. Taste - more caramel and creamy raspberries. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy yet crunchy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - a fruit beer that was less intrusive on the hops and malt than most.
