Handpull cask at the Parcel Yard, Leicester. Brown/amber and clear with a film of off-white head. Redcurrant, forest floor and resinous notes in the aroma, although it's subtle. Tastes lovely with bittersweet earthy flavours and a dry (if too short) finish. Body is a bit watery. A very well-made beer, not terribly exciting but just the thing for a cold September evening.

Handpull cask from the Parcel Yard, Leicester. Very dark brown and slightly translucent. Sweet liquorice notes on the aroma with strong coffee and a touch of cola nut. Sweet taste with chocolate overtones. A light fruity hop provides a bittering balance midway through the sip. Creamy body with blackberry overtones in the aftertaste. An enjoyable classic porter.

Keg tap at the Parcel Yard, Leicester. Dark brassy gold, hazy. Tiny white head. Noticeable lacing. Melon, papaya, metal and sweat in the aroma. Bittersweet taste with tropical fruit hop to the fore, but also a wine gum sweetness. Long flavourful finish. Good IPA if slightly more by-the-numbers than I’d have liked in a perfect world...

Cask pint: 17th June 2017. Sat outside the Victoria Hotel, Beeston. Thin white head on my golden pint. Slight citrusy/tropical fruit aromas and flavours, not really my thing. Sick to death of golden citrusy beers! Scored objectively because it was fine, just not my taste. Plus I don’t like ’Leicester City’.

Cask at the Squirrel, Penn Street, 12/06/17. Clear golden with a well appointed white head that retains well. Nose is big on bready malts, grains, straw, faint citric notes. Taste comprises bread dough, pale malts, toasted grains, straw, lemon drizzle, melon, biscuit. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close with mellow bitter tones. Decent enough cask offering but a touch hot (in a cask way) to provide lager refreshment.
