Cambridge Blue. Cask. Clear gold beer, not much of a head. Palate is light with very mild carbonation. Light malts, mildly sweef. Ripe citrus, little citrus peel bitterness. A little fresher citrus before a light finish. Pretty drinkable.

Handpull cask from the Three Horseshoes, Stapleford. Tawny brown with a tiny bit of head. The aroma lowers my expectation: a bit of caramel and crystal malt just like the description said. Meh. I take a sip and change my mind. It starts sweet and a trifle yeasty but soon changes. There’s a nice sharp woody bitter, underpinned by malty notes but still packed with flavour. The finish is long and bitter, but there’s still a note of sugary agave nectar in the aftertaste. I like Nene Valley’s more forward-looking beers but usually struggle with their more traditional stuff. This is an exception.

Draught (Pint Shop, Oxford) - Amber in colour. Peach, apricot, orange and hints of sultanas in the aroma. Fruity and hoppy taste with orange, peach and a hint of mango.

Mini keg from the brewery. Jet black colour with a foamy tan head. Roasted malt coffee and light milk chocolate aroma and taste sweet with a medium body.

Handpull cask at the Lord Nelson, Oakham. Somewhere between chestnut and honey brown. Clear with a small whitish head and noticeable lacing. Nutty caramel malt in the aroma with astringent character. Taste is... right now. Anyone else old enough to remember Bit-O-Honey candy bars? The taste is similar, but with a healthy dose of autumnal hop bitter. Bitterness of the finish woven through with caramel malt sweetness. Ok boys and girls: this is how you do a twiggy brown.

Handpull cask at the Royal Standard Cambridge. Dark purplish brown. Translucent. Very little head but a lot of lacing. Chocolate and egg yolk aroma which is spoiled a bit by a sharp vegetal note. Taste is gorgeous though: unapologetically sweet and creamy. Lots of oaty intensity like sugary breakfast porridge. Creamy mouthfeel. Really nice.

Keg at The Pint Shop, Saturday 15th October 2016 Decent and pleasant fruity golden beer, nice little buzzy bitterness, there is a little bit of a tropical edge but more citrussy. It’s nice. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6
