Handpull cask at the Rutland & Derby, Leicester. Dark, almost brownish gold and clear with a small layer of beige head. Lots of lacing. Slightly astringent aroma, some sharp citrus and orchard fruits, lingering dried grass and some forest floor. Bitterness in the taste but there's a sweetness hiding behind in. Astringent but not enough to define the drink. Strong bitter finish. Light to medium body with softer carbonation. All in all tasty but doesn't hang together quite as much as I was hoping.

Cask at Brunswick, Derby. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small off-white head. There’s nuts and plums in the aroma. In the mouth it is quite sweet but with some underlying sharpness and a slightly watery texture. Flavour is mainly plums plus roast malts, dark fruits and hints of spice. A little liquorice comes later. Finish is slightly fruity. This is decent enough but somewhat generic.

Cask at Brunswick, Derby. Pours golden yellow with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly floral hops with some hints of citrus. In the mouth it is quite sweet with a creamy texture. Flavour has malts, caramel, floral hops and citrus with hints of marmalade and ginger coming later. Finish is slightly dry. This is reasonable but it is nowhere near hoppy enough to be called an IPA.

Cask at Brunswick, Derby. Pours golden yellow with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. Only a vague aroma – hints of citrus and floral hops. In the mouth it is sweet and juicy with a creamy texture, though slightly watery too. Flavour has floral hops and malts with melon and mango coming through later leading to a slightly dry finish. This is reasonable though somewhat anonymous.

Old rating - A 500ml bottle brought at the Brunswick Inn late last year on my Derby trip & brought back to Jersey. Pours a amber colour with a white head. Aromas & tastes of citrus, tropical fruits, apricots & new world hops. Incorrectly added here as a blonde / golden, very much as the brewery says a New World IPA & very well made too!

Handpull cask at the Brunswick, Derby. Mid- to dark brown, a little bit translucent with a small uneven khaki/tan head. Dark chocolate malt, some yeast extract, slate in the aroma. Sweet taste, some savoury yeasty notes, lots of malt here with bitterness in the finish. Touches of black grape. It is an intense experience for sure, the flavours are pretty full-on. Body is light than expected with almost no carbonation. While there may be issues, it is a brilliant beer all in all.
