Handpull cask at the Stilton Cheese, Somerby. Light to mid-gold and clear with a small film of white head. Unobtrusive aroma: grasses, kiwi, light toffee, orange peel.Taste is bittersweet with some full citrus and tropical fruit and heavy strong iced tea. Slightly bitter and drying finish. Light to medium body with light carbonation. Fantastic. Refreshing and moreish.

Gravity cask at the 2025 Rutland CAMRA Festival, the County Museum, Oakham. Usually I go through rates in the same pattern: appearance, aroma, taste, finish, texture, summation. I'm starting this one by saying that this is possibly one of the sweetest beers I've ever had from a proper brewery. I like my sweet beers but this is something else. It is tawny brown, mostly clear with a very loose and uneven off-white head. Aroma of sweet fruits, super-sweetened tea. Taste... well I must admit that the finish has some bitterness but that is after the crazy sugar hit. Notes of mango and papaya (coated in sugar, hollowed out and filled with sugar). It's a good beer in ways I guess but the sweetness made it impossible for me to rate it objectively.
