Keg @ The Paper Duck, Harborne, Birmingham. Pours murky dirty brown, vibrant exotics on the nose. Taste has an initial burst of stonefruit and jagged pine, but unfortunately dries out and deflates a little too quickly.

Handpull cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Dark brown, opaque with a few bubbles of tan head. Ovaltine and slight hazelnut aroma. Sweet taste with a suggestion of fruity hop later on, however it stays predominantly sweet to the finish. Oily body. Pretty good!

Handpull cask at the West End Brewery, Leicester. Pale yellow and clear with a small white head. Gentle grapefruit-led aroma with lemon peel and a touch of biscuity malt. Bittersweet taste with just a touch of sulphur. The finish is far more bitter, leading to an uncompromising bitterness in the aftertaste. A basic but enjoyable pale ale.
