320ml bottle from Umrah Supermarket, Leicester. Light mead-ish gold, clear, no head. Smell is similar to fizzy lemonade but stronger and a touch more sou. Some malty aromas as well. Taste is extremely sweet, lemon syrup, a touch of stone fruit. Uniform all the way down, but I wasn’t expecting subtlety. Thick body for what it is, almost no carbonation. I mean, it isn’t bad, but of course it isn’t beer.

Keg draught at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Light gold and clear with a tight white head. Aroma. Hmmm. Floral notes, sweet herbs, citrus, a bit of white pepper. Sweet taste, more citrus, resinous, a bit of persimmon,with a bitter finish. Wow, this is interesting. Not the top tier of IPAs but it's certainly got personality. Recommended.

Keg draught at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Light gold with a touch of haze and a massive tight white head. Lemony and floral aroma with touches of vanilla. Chalky wheat taste, bright lime zest on the taste sweet with some rounded agave mid-sip and a slightly bitter finish. A mixed bag but decent. And it's a treat to have this rare style in the UK.

Gravity cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Mid-gold, a bit greenish. Hazy with a large loose white head. Lots of grapefruit and juicy mango in the aroma. The taste is a bit muddled, quite a nice malt base along with chalky citrus and tropical fruits. Finish is quite bitter without being jarring. Slightly messy but overall nice.

Handpull cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Dark, dark brown with a slight mahogany hue and an uneven thin khaki head. The cherry is really evident with a good chocolate malt backbone. Taste is more bitter than I'd expected, no bad thing, with notes of cooking chocolate and cherry. Good body for the ABV, with soft carbonation. A very enjoyable dark mild.

Handpull at the Salmon, Leicester. A deeper gold than I was expecting. Still and no head. The aroma gives Maraschino cherry and a little bit of pineapple. Very sweet taste with cherry to the fore, with canned pineapple and citrus. Some gentle bitterness in the finish but it doesn't redress the balance issue. Light and slightly oily body. OK.
