Handpull cask at the Ale Stone, Aylestone. Dark gold, clear with a small white head and generous lacing. Aroma of mown grass, cherry candy, orange peel. Sweet taste with fruity notes, bubblegum. Slight chalky bitterness nearer the end but this is a very sweet beer. Slightly oily body, soft to nil carbonation. Quite nice.

Handpull cask at the Ale Stone, Aylestone. Pours a deep dark mahogany, a little translucent with a small beige head. Delicious malty aroma, fresh cherries, stone fruit, light earthy character. Gorgeous sweet taste, resplendent with black cherry. Bitterness in the back of the sip providing less of a balance and more of a change of character. Light body with soft carbonation. A revelation.

Handpull cask (with sparkler) at the Ale Stone, Aylestone. Light to medium gold and clear with a small tight white head. Light grassy notes, hay and a little bit of buttered toast in the aroma. Sweet taste just at first, changing to a tenacious bitterness to the finish. Big bitterness and a cavalcade of English hop in the finish. Soft carbonation. A fair bit of character in this little beer, even if it isn't quite my cup of tea.

Cask ale at Pineapple. Kindly shared by Leif. Tiny off-white head over a ruby-black body, clingy lacing. Promising aromas of dark malts and dark fruits. Comprehensive taste character, impacts of berry-fruits, biscuit, and chocolate malts. Smoothly roasted finish. A bit thin on the swallow. Likeable. (Kentish Town, London 06.12.2023).

Cask at Victoria Inn, Derby. Pours a hazy pale straw with minimal white head and good lacing. Thereโs some light floral hops in the aroma plus hints of generic citrus. In the mouth there is a slight sweetness initially before sharpness of mixed hops comes through. Flavour has caramel and grains too plus some hints of berry fruits. Not bad โ just a little dull.
