Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Brownish gold and clear with a spotty uneven beige head. Honey on toast aroma with a touch of unripe tropical fruit. Sweetish taste with notes of sour/bitter fruit hop notes. Medium to heavy body, very little carbonation. Okay.

Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Mid- to dark gold and clear with a loose uneven off-white head. Slight metallic aroma with ripe tangerine and kiwi. Taste is more bitter than I'd expected but there's a nice fruity sweetness. Bitter finish. Surprisingly so. Medium body with soft carbonation. Not their best.

Handpull cask at the King's Head, Leicester. Dark, brownish gold. Murky with a small loose off-white head. Sweet, floral aroma with light tropical fruits, linen, persimmon. Taste is a bit muddled with a tongue-coating malty sweetness along with some jammy fruit hops. Medium body, little carbonation. Pretty good all on all.

Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Light brownish purple, thin looking with a small beige/tan head. Plummy aroma, some dry bread malts. Sweet taste, some stone fruit syrup, light lashings of white pepper. Bit of sourness in the finish. Light to medium body, soft carbonation. Simple and a bit artificial but pretty good.

Handpull cask at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Brownish gold and clear with a smattering of off-white head. Caramel notes, tangerine peel, a bit of sweet spice and Orchard fruits. Sweetish taste, brready with a touch of marmalade, turning to a good sized bitterness nearer the finish. Full body for the ABV with very soft carbonation. A nice little pale.

Keg draught at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Mid-gold and mostly clear with a small white head. Floral aroma, sweet tropical fruits, light citrus. Tastes of orange, pineapple, lychee, with notes of white pepper. It's sweet but by no means unbearably so. Medium body with very heavy carbonation. My beer of the night.

Keg draught at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Light to mid-gold, clear with a small white head. Bready aroma with some tropical fruit and a touch of stewed stone fruit. Marmalade notes in the taste, big malty character, touches of pineapple. More bitter nearing the finish. Lighter body with medium to heavy carbonation. Little bit lacklustre but certainly drinkable.
