Handpull cask at the Salmon, Leicester. Mahogany/brown, translucent with a creamy beige head. Floral nose, very hop-led, with lots of blackcurrant, gardenia and white chocolate. Sweet taste initially but there's a strong and jarring herbal note in the finish. Medicinal bitterness with watercress flavour lingers in the aftertaste. Weird little beer but certainly drinkable, even though I'm not 100% sure what they were aiming for.
