Gravity cask at the Real Ale Classroom, Stoneygate, Leicester. Amber/gold, slightly hazy and flat. Light notes of papaya, dank hop notes, overripe oranges, a touch of toast. Well-contained bittersweet taste with caramel and tropical fruit flavours. A fleeting souring note before the drying finish. Strong tea, more papaya and the gentlest layer of vinegar in the aftertaste. Not bad.
