Cask handpull at The Ship & Mitre, Liverpool. Clear pale gold colour with lasting thick white head. Some yeast, some citrus on aroma. Perfumed citrus peach/apricot in mouth. Interesting with some esters/apricot mainly though. Good, but not my flavours.

Cask handpull at The Royal Oak, Ockbrook, Derby. Very dark brown/black, lasting dark beige head. Caramlelly dark ale. Decent. Not normally my kind of beer, lots of caramel but then dryish choc finish. Leaves good flavour in the mouth of darkish choc.
