Cask handpull at Mad Cat Norwich. Tropical fruit golden ale. Taste of Um Nomho up front. Then a golden ale underneath which is OK. Some bitterness on the finish. Pretty tasty. I rather liked the passionfriot edge to it. Fine.

May to September beer - well the other way around, drank in the latter, rating now in the former. Cask pour at the Trafford Arms just a short walk away from the city centre of Norwich, a purpose built pub in the suburbs. Blonde with a creamy-frothy head, hoppy-floral notes in both aroma and taste, but nothing too appealing.

Cask at Brunswick, Derby. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small foamy cream head and good lacing. There’s malts and butter in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet with a creamy texture but a little watery. Malts to the fore alongside cola with hints of nuts and liquorice coming later. Finish is a little fruity. This is reasonable.
