Handpull cask at the Piper, Kettering. Very dark brown, just a bit of translucency. Sweet oaty aroma, sharp liquorice, some bramble. Taste is a little too sweet, cloying liquorice character which gives way to a naked bitterness to the finish. Medium body and carbonation. Not a great balance, but a pretty decent beer all things given.

Keg draught at the Real Ale Classroom, Stoneygate, Leicester. Light to middling gold, hazy with a small film of white head. Grassy, woody aroma, floral and citrus hops. Bittersweet taste, Loaded with hop but not quite overloaded. Pink grapefruit, nectarine, kumquat peel. Good thick body with low to medium carbonation. Sexy and delicious.

Keg draught at the Real Ale Classroom, Stoneygate light golden, hazy with a tiny film of white head and uneven lacing. Lovely hoppy aroma, some stone fruit, white grapefruit. Bittersweet taste some oaty character with a serious bitter hop. The bitterness overtakes the rest of the profile in the finish. Light body, low to medium carbonation. Another delicious pale from Two by Two.

Keg draught at the Real Ale Classroom, Stoneygate, Leicester. Light gold, clear with a swirl of white head. Aroma of slightly gluey notes, resin, floral hops. Taste is sweet, more light citrus and white bread, gentle hop on the watery finish. Very little carbonation. I mean, for a low alcohol pale this is very nice.

440ml can as part of an ASDA delivery. Drunk at home. Dark brown and opaque with ring of brown head. Vanilla, cheap salted caramel, coffee aroma. Delicious sweet (but not too sweet) taste, more salted caramel, fudge, coffee, some bitterness closing on the long finish. Oily body with little carbonation. Not the most exciting impy but certainly more than competent.

12 ounce can bought as part of a delivery from Raynville Superstore and drunk at home. Vinous aroma, big notes of currant, grape and blackberry. Hint of vanilla. Sweet taste, just a hint of tartness, with red grape juice, blueberry. A tad more tart in the finish. Thick body for the ABV with medium carbonation. Impressive sour.

Keg draught at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Light yellow gold and hazy with an uneven white head. Aroma is too burdened with hops, a bit onions, but there's some lovely apricot and melon behind it. Sweet, strong and boozy taste, light bitterness toward the finish. A good Wight to the body with carbonation on the heavy side. Flawed but worth trying.

Keg draught at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Bluish magenta and hazy with a light off-white ring of head. Strange aroma, balsamic vinegar, berries, hard citrus, a teeny tiny bit of soy. My, this is a real sour. Taste is sour and fruity but not too much, cut a bit by the vanilla. Sourness dissipates all the way to the finish. Light body with carbonation on the heavy side. It's pretty good if a bit less comvincing than Vault City's best stuff.
