Gravity cask at the Real Ale Classroom, Leicester. Hazy orange/golden with a loose ring of white head. Sharp grapefruit, apple, melon aroma bittersweet taste with exceptional hop notes to the fore, lots of citrus and tropical fruit swirling around before the final bitter finish. Pineapple and grapefruit in the hop oils aftertaste. Flat, oily body. Very lovely.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Well the most interesting thing about this was the spelling mistake (“Big Break IPA”) which lead me to think it was a snooker reference ! Pours a murky milk chocolate with a small white head. Oranges and malts in the aroma. Rather sweet in the mouth, with underlying malts and caramel. Orange and lemon come through later to leave with a yucky bitter lemon finish. Horrible !
