On cask at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - golden with a nice lacy head. Nose - meadow flowers and custard. Taste - bitter lime pickle thing. Dry biscuit. Palate - light to medium bodied with a tangy astringent middle and finish. Overall - a bit too challenging this one.

Handpull cask at Broood at the Prince of Wales, Hinckley. Dark gold bordering on copper, incredibly clear. Low aroma of caramel and orange peel. Taste is a bit bitter and spicy with grainy and vegetal notes nearer to the finish. It has a nice mouthfeel for the strength: oily but far from thin. Not a bad beer by any means but it has issues that keep it from being the beer it could be...
