Handpull cask at the King's Head, Leicester. 3.4%. Mid-gold with the tiniest of haze as it settles. Small off-white head. Suggestions of grapefruit, tangerine, passionfruit and pineapple in the scent. Taste starts a little sweet with floral and tropical fruit notes, but turns quite bitter quite quickly. Notes of honey and more tropical fruit in the finish. It feels a trifle artificial but otherwise good.

500ml bottle from LCB. Black pour with small beige to tanned head. Aroma is clean but not subdued with roasted malt, oat, cream, raisin, plum. Taste is the same with a dose of milk chocolate. Distinctive flavours running through. Nice balance. Smooth finish. Very good example of the style; tasty.
