Run Wild from Athletic Brewing Company

5.8/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 5 Flavor 5.5 Texture 7 Overall 5.5

Keg draught at the Old Workshop, Sheffield. Dark golden, clear with a smattering of off-white head. Light aroma with a gummy resinous note. Taste is sweet, loads of that resinous character, leading to a bitter finish. Medium body with carbonation on the slightly heavy side. Low/no beers have come so far in the last few years but this is a relic from the olden days. Still a CT tick. Cool.

7.1/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7

Keg at the Alder, Sheffield. Light gold, hazy with a good-sized white head. Cracked wheat, apricot, grapefruit, melon on the nose. Taste is sweet at first, full of stone fruit, then settling down to a crisp bitter finish. Light body with medium carbonation. A treat to find a new brewery, and this is a good one.

6.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5.5 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 6.5

Handpull cask at the Wellington, Sheffield. Amber and clear after a quick settle. A thick buff-coloured head. Sticky malt, a slight astringency in the aroma. Taste has a decent little bitterness to it which resorts in the finish. Light body with a little carbonation. Verdict: a very basic bitter from a very good outfit. Clean and refreshing.

Cabrakan from Neepsend Brew Co.

8/10 — Appearance 9 Aroma 8 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 8

Handpull cask at the Wellington, Sheffield. Dark brown, a little translucent with a thick tan head. Aroma: gentle chocolate malts, muscovado sugar, hints of liquorice and ash. Sweet taste, lots more chocolate. The sugary taste is slightly balanced by a hoppy bitterness but this definitely remains a sweet beer. A soupçon of carbonation. Glorious.

8.2/10 — Setting 8 Selection 8 Service 8 Food Value 8 Overall 9

I can't believe I've not yet been here. I remember doing a pub crawl in the area in 2016 and one of the pubs wasn't open. Guess it was this one... better late than never. The Wellington is added to my pantheon of great Sheffield pubs. It's a traditional two-bar venue owned by Neepsend, with 7 cask and 8 keg. All Neepsend except for 4 of the keg which are dedicated to decent craft outfits. The beer runs the gamut of styles and ABVs up to almost 7%, so decently strong but not insane. Cold IPAs, milk stouts, all sorts. Neepsend is a wonderful brewery and what a great place to showcase their work. On, enough rating. Back to my wonderful beer.

7.3/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7.5 Texture 7 Overall 7.5

Draught keg at the Castle, Leicester. Light yellow/gold, hazy with a fluffy white head. Scent of lemon, vanilla, grapefruit, cantaloupe. Sweet, sugary taste with a decent dollop of malt. Bitterness soon stakes a claim leading to a nice balance for the finish. Grapefruit oils in the aftertaste. Lighter body, carbonation is a bit heavy. Love this one. A tiny vegetal note in the initial sip otherwise the score would be pushing 8.
