Handpull cask at the Beer Shack, Hucknall. Light to mid-golden and clear with an uneven froth of white head. Grassy aroma, light citrus, some bready malt. Tastes amazing, briefly sweet with notes of apricot, changing quickly to a keen hoppy bitterness..light to medium body, soft carbonation. A nice cask pale ale.

Cask at the Pup and Duckling, Solihull. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, yeasty, wet blanket. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a fresh, smooth, somewhat rich, yeasty barnyard, dry woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

I once had a football training session with Chelsea legend Peter Osgood. This beer 'is good', albeit golden session material, but smoothish, nice in the palate and sits well in the glass.
