Handpull cask at the Blue Boar's Pentrich Tap Takeover, Leicester. Light to mid-gold with a massive foamy white head. The nose is full of citrus hops: lime, grapefruit, with some freshly mown grass and a little bit of TCP. There's some astringency to the bittersweet taste which gains traction throughout the sip. Body is really flat and oily with bitter hop oils nestling in the back of the throat for the aftertaste. Maybe not perfect but a very enjoyable hoppy pale.

Gravity cask at the Blue Boar's Pentrich Tap Takeover, Leicester. Reddish brown, clear with a ring of white head. Arima is woody with some turpentine notes, with swet malt and some cinnamon. Bittersweet taste with a light funk ending in a medicinal finish. Long finish with leafy bittering hop in the aftertaste. Flat body. It's a pretty goid trad bitter, but it fails to have that 'wow' factors present in bitters from the best breweries.

Cask at the Pentrich Tap Takeover at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Mid-golden and clear, with a ring of white head. Light aroma: floral, modestly fruity, with a metallic edge. A bit more character to the taste, with some meaty hoppiness in the initial moments. However it's short-lived, leaving a fairly watery body and muted lemon balm aftertaste. Not the best beer, lacking in character.

Cask at Great Northern, St Albans on 12th July 2019. Hazy gold with shallow white foam and no lacing. Zesty citrus aroma, liquid pass and finish. Smooth yet engaging texture and medium body. Pleasant.

Tap at Suds and Soda, Derby Nose has chocolate and grainy malts. Pours a murky black with a beige head. When served initially very cold, the mouth feel was dominated by lactose, but as it warmed up liquorice and raisins came through and obscured the lactose. Finish dominated by an alcoholic warmth. Much nicer when warmed up !

Cask - A clear golden colour with a small white head, some lacing. A sweet fruity hoppy aroma, sweet grapefruit and some tropical notes. Moderately sweet, grapefruit flavours and a light zesty bitterness in the finish.
