Handpull cask at the Ale Wagon, Leicester. Dark mahogany with a little translucency and a smattering of khaki head. Light on the aroma but I'm getting a smattering of malt and red berries. Sweet and incredibly malty taste with a bitter/sour note creeping in toward the finish. Full, flat body. It's malty as you could imagine. But still a decent enough drop.

New style and a cheeky kebab after a fun, if frustrating night. I really can’t tell what distinguishes this from a standard strong ale 🤷♂️ Big thanks for this one Gus H.

Bottle from Morrisons Supermarket, Eccles. Clear amber-gold with a small head. Has a slight carbonation. Its strength is evident but its light tasting caramels are still its most dominant characteristic, and they help provide a somewhat smoothish brew.

Handpull cask at the Ale Wagon, Leicester. Slightly reddish gold and clear with a small white head. Light sulphurous notes, some citrus pith, grassy notes. Taste is delicious with fruit punch flavours, some tannic tea, bready yeast. Odd beer and traditional to the core but hard not to dig it!

Cask at Brews of the World, Burton on Trent. Pours “bitter brown” with minimal off-white head. Aroma has traces of malts and autumn fruits, but nothing substantial. Old school hops and sweet malts can both be detected in the mouth, along with toffee, caramel and autumn fruits. Finish is slightly fruity. This is a pretty decent traditional bitter.

500ml bottle. Poured a crystal clear golden colour with a short-lived, frothy white head. The aroma is malt and gluey yeast. The flavour is over moderate bitter, with a crisp, yeasty, light citrus, light floral, big woody hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

[50cl bottle from Morrisons, Festival Park, Hanley.] A bright straw coloured pour with gentle carbonation and an immediately dissipating white head; malty aroma; sweet biscuity malt body with a trace of citrus; and a light pithy bitterness to finish. Possibly the most misnamed beer I've ever come across.

[50cl bottle from Morrison's, Festival Park, Hanley, at 6% ABV.] A bright amber pour with a thin with head; rich malty aroma with a hint of red fruit; thick and syrupy in the mouth with a fruity taste rich caramel, and a slight effervescence; then a firmly bitter finish. Very good.
