Handpull cask at the Lansdowne, Leicester. Straw, clear with a thin white head and lots of lacing. Apricot, lemon balm and a touch of butter in the aroma. Bitter taste with no let-up in the finish. Thin body. Clean, simple and refreshing if not overly complex.

Tried at the 2018 Deepings Beer Festival. Hazy deep golden colour with a thick white head. Aroma citrus and light tropical, malty body, fresh fruity finish.

Keg from the Real Ale Classroom, Lutterworth. 5% ABV so... not really a full-on IPA. Mid- to dark gold, hazy, with a massive thick off-white head. Lots of peach, tangerine and a bit of banana on the nose. Taste is bittersweet, slightly less intense than I was hoping from the aroma. The finish is short, and the heavy carbonation can't make up for the watery body. A mixed bag, but better than many pale ales and certainly worth trying.

Handpull cask at the Lansdowne, Leicester. Deep gold, slightly hazy. Not much in the way of head. Light aroma, very floral and perfumed with a slight metallic edge. Tastes sweet with mint and bready notes. Long sweet finish with a medicinal aftertaste. Not bad.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 34C). Bottle 33 cl - Batch 61 (BBF 30/04/2018). AROMA: medium-low hop aroma (slightly fruity, starting to fade to oxidation). APPEARANCE: âmbar color and clear. medium-low ivoy head with good retention. TASTE: medium-low hop notes (resin, pine, slight citric, fading to dried grass), followed by medium-high bitterness. roastiness almost imperceptible. finishes dry and bitter. PALATE: medium-low body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: an unbalanced hibrid between a dark mild and a hopped ale. needs retasting.

Handpull cask at Broood, Leicester. Dark brown and almost opaque with a tiny ring of off-white head. Spicy aroma of cinnamon and clove, dried petals, treacle and suggestions of chocolate and sarsaparilla. Tastes a bit too much for me - too boozy, too spiced, too sweet - but I like the character. It's fun to drink even though it's a winter beer on the hottest day of the year.
