Cask from Head of Steam, Birmingham. Semi-hazed gold, small white top. Pleasant but quite bland; mellow melon fruitiness with sweet cereals. Light to mid bodied. Forgettable.

(Cask at King's Arms, Bethnal Green, London, 23 Nov 2024) Dark ruby colour with foamy, tan head. Malty nose with notes of caramel, dried fruit and nuts. Malty taste with caramel, red fruit, raisins, hazelnuts and a mild roasty bitterness. Light body, with a slight sweetness. On the thin side, but overall a tasty and well made mild. Nice one.
