Cask. Kelham Island Tavern, Sheffield. Milkshake like, pale gold. Thick suds of white. Nose has fruity milkshake. Some peach and citrus. Touch of lactose. Taste is sweet and milky, with a well rounded, citrus bitterness. Light body. Fairly smooth. Low carbonation. Fruity bitterness to finish. A bit odd, but it went down easy.

Cask @ Shrewsbury Beer Festival, July 2018. Pours misty yellow, thin white head. Noticeable sour edge, which was unexpected for a cask beer... crisp, cool refreshing with distant mango notes.

Gravity cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Almost black, opaque with an uneven loose khaki head. Roast malt, liquorice, spruce in the aroma with come cinnamon and a little bit of lime zest. Initially there's a lovely fruity sweetness to the taste, but the finish is far drier. Astringent notes to the finish obscure the more interesting flavours of cocoa bitters, bramble, horehound, more liquorice. Very interesting stuff, incredibly well put-together.

Handpull cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Amber/brown, clear and flat with a small, uneven, loose off-white head. Grainy, malty aroma with white pepper, tree sap and golden syrup. Sweet and slightly spicy taste which reveals an acidic bitterness closer to the finish. Forest floor notes in the aftertaste. A solid cask amber and not the usual run of the mill.
