Cask. Kelham Island Tavern, Sheffield. Cloudy, pale, orange gold. Thick, foamy, lasting, off white head. Nose has overripe orange. Some white grape twang. Hint of pear. Errs toward the bright and tangy. Taste follows on, with a clean, tangy, almost vinous bitterness. Little sweetness here. Light to medium body. Bright carbonation. More tang to finish. Interesting brew.

Cask. Kelham Island Tavern, Sheffield. Fairly hazy, pale amber. Foamy, blotchy, off white head. Nose has tangy, lemon hop. Bit of a sourdough bread thing going on. Taste follows suit, really. Some off notes, here. Light body. Tang on the finish. Not too good.

Transparent black color with a bubbly tan head. The head ends quite fast up as a layer. Fine intensity in the aroma with some spiced notes. Medium body and a soft carbonation level. Tad sweet and a moderate bitterness. Bready, chocolate, fruity and some spices in the flavor. Decent tasty stuff.

Cask. Kelham Island Tavern, Sheffield. Very hazy, verging on soupy, dark gold. Film and a ring of white. Nose has a load of pink grapefruit and lime. Some peach and ripe nectarine. Soft, bready malts. Taste is juicy sweet, turning zesty, pulpy citrus bitter. Mouthfeel is juicy and soft. Not unlike drinking grapefruit juice, this. Crisp carbonation, especially given the dispense method. (Got to love a swan neck). Juicy, pithy, zesty bitter finish. Really good.
