Draught at the Cradock Arms, Leicester. Deep gold, fairly clear, no head. Aroma is pure sweet applesauce. Tastes so sweet, more apple but also some caramel, with a short finish. Pretty light body, still. It is okay but too sweet for me.

Keg draught at the Cradock Arms, Leicester. Light to mid-gold, clear witha small swirl of white head. Not a lot of aroma, some lemon cream pie, notes of canned pineapple. Lovely delicate taste, quite sweet and fruity with a gentle malt skeleton. Pronounced bitterness on the back of the tongue for the finish. Body is very light with medium to heavy carbonation. Everards forme are a hit and miss brewery but this very good.

440ml can bought from Tønne, Leicester. Pours a deep gold and clear with almost no head. Aroma of slightly stale filter coffee and St Clements. The taste works so well: a sweet coffee overlain with tart lemon. Sweet for the most part but sour around the corners. Light body with medium carbonation. Oh wait, here's more lemon... it wasn't done! This is so much fun.

Draught keg at Tønne, Leicester. Light to mid-brown and cloudy with a small beige head. Slightly muted aroma is giving me chocolate and light wheat grain. Taste is ambrosia, hoppy and bitter with the sweetness of the wheat. A floral flourish in the final sip, very bitter here. Medium body and carbonation. It all hangs together oh so well.

Keg draught at Tønne, Leicester. Light orange and crazy thick with almost no head. Aroma gives a truckload of mango and a little vanilla. Taste has a strong and unexpected taste of white pepper, but it works. Lots more of the mango here, it is not too sour but still has that tinge of tartness. Thick, thick, thick body with almost no discernible carbonation. Hmmmm. Not my favourite Vault City Beer - I am not 100% sure what they're going for here - but I'm enjoying it on its own merit.

Draught keg at Tønne, Leicester. Light gold, pretty hazy with a small uneven white head and lots of lacing. Light aroma here with notes of pineapple and grapefruit. Taste is more engaging with a lovely initial flavour combination of vanilla and cracked wheat, delving more deeply into the hop immediately afterward. Short finish. Watery body. It everything I'd want from a session IPA but at 40% the intensity. It's okay but not really feeling it.

Keg draught at the Real Ale Classroom, Stoneygate, Leicester. Dark brown, mostly opaque with a swirl of brown head. Aroma of freshly made caramel, chocolate and cinnamon. Lots of cinnamon. Sweet, sweet taste, loads more cinnamon here, with a hop bitterness nearer the finish. Thick body with very little carbonation. Absolutely lovely.

Gravity cask at the Real Ale Classroom, Stoneygate, Leicester. Light yellow gold and hazy. Strong dank aroma of white grapefruit, a little bit of tropical fruit. Taste is fairly bitter, loads of hop oil on the back of rhe tongue in the finish. Light body with soft to nil carbonation. Cones together very nicely, not so much personality but a lot of class.
