Handpull cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Dark, brownish red with a glint of translucency and an uneven reddish/khaki head. Astringent aroma with toffee and berry notes. Bittersweet taste, more astringency here, with light berry flavours, a touch of roast chocolate, some cress. Fairly thick body for the ABV with almost no carbonation. I did like this but was hoping for a bit more character.

Cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Dark brown, a little translucent with a decent-sized tan head. Aroma is overwhelmingly of liquorice and blackberry jam. Sweet taste, a little tobacco in here along with the liquorice and berry, fading quickly to bitterness. Light to medium body, no carbonation to speak of. It is okay.

Handpull cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Plight gold, hazy with a thick off-white head. Enticing and intriguing on the nose. Smells of honey, agave syrup, grapefruit, gardenia, stone fruit, vanilla. Taste is sweet initially but becomes bitter very quickly in the long finish. Herbal with notes of grapefruit and coconut. Medium body with softer carbonation. A real treat.

Keg draught at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Light to mid-golden, a little bit hazy with a full (but quickly dissipating) white head. Aroma of light fruity hop, some lime, dried grass. Bittersweet taste, more lime here, maybe some orchard fruit, ending in a bitter finish. Body is very watery but there is a fair bit of tight carbonation that gives the impression of more heft. For a very low alcohol beer, this is impressive.

Draught keg at Tønne, Leicester. Light yellow gold, hazy with a quickly dissipating white head. Melon, apricot, a little bit of banana on the nose. Sweet, sweet taste with more melon, some stone fruit and lots of vanilla wafer. Nice thick body with soft to medium carbonation. This is really impressive.

Draught keg at Tønne, Leicester. Cream/gold colour, hazy with an uneven off-white head. Light aroma of stone fruit, almost essence of peach. A bit weird but nice enough. Taste... whoah. Cardamom overwhelms everything else at first, but after you get used to it you can taste the beer beneath which is bittersweet with more stone fruit. A bit weird and unbalanced in the middle but rights itself for the finish more or less. Light body with soft to medium carbonation. Okay.
