Handpull cask at the Wild Boar, Warwick. Brownish gold, clear with a small off-white head. Grainy and slightly metallic aroma, with notes of toffee and persimmon. Taste is sweet, although not overly so; big notes of toffee offset by a slightly spicy character. Bitter orange comes in for the finish. Light body, soft carbonation. It's okay, not particularly exciting but certainly competent.

Golden/orange pour, almost clear with a small white head. Aroma is quite weak: orange/marmalade, malt, grain/bread. Taste is orange/marmalade, malt, grain/bread again plus some herbs for a nice bitter finish. OK, but not mindblowing.

Handpull cask at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Caramel brown and clear with a small beige head. Light toffee aroma, some woody notes, maybe a touch of turps. Satisfyingly bitter in the mouth. Oaky notes among the toffee. Hoppy bitter finish. Light body, soft carbonation. An abive average bitter for sure.
