Cask handpull at Mr Grundys Derby. Tastes of banana and toffee. Odd diacetyl possible but the toffee banana thing works.

Gravity cask at the Bricklayers Arms Derby BF. Pours clear amber with a light head. Tangy fruit nose. Very tangy malt flavor, lightly sweet. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Faint sweet finish with very little bitterness and yet more tangy fruit. A little awkward.

Cask handpull at CP&K with Chriso. Looks flat as hell. Reddish chestnut colour. Farty yeast aroma. It’s a bit of green apple. Not much hop at all. Bit of a bleachy taste. Not great.
