Beer Under The Clock (Retford, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿)

7.2/10 — Setting 8 Selection 6 Service 9 Food Value 5 Overall 8
Housed in the building previously occupied by BeerHeadZ (remember them?) , Beer Under the Clock carries on the tradition of good beer in a bright, modern atmosphere. It definitely has that micropub feel. They have five cask beers for microbreweries, mostly from the North, like Three Brothers and Blue Bee. One craft keg among the more accessible stuff, and a smattering of bottles and cans behind the bar. Cask is kept to optimal conditionals while it is on the dear side (for Retford anyhow) you certainly get what you're paying for. A must-stop in town.

Handpull cask at Beer Under the Clock, Retford. Dark brown, slightly translucent with a thick creamy beige/khaki head. Sweet aroma, some of the expected marshmallow and chocolate with a good whiff of Parma violets. Taste is extremely sweet, but obviously this comes as no surprise. Chocolate and more violet coming out. A touch of bitterness in the finish. Silky smooth body, very soft carbonation. I shouldn’t like this as much as I do.

Keg draught at Retford Craft House. Light to mid yellow gold, hazy, almost no head. Dank as fuck aroma, some overripe pineapple, orange, lemon peel. Tastes sweet at first but there's a well-judged bitterness near the dry finish. So not your normal NEIPA sugar bomb. Weighty body with little carbonation. All in all a pretty impressive beer.

Handpull cask at the Turks Head, Retford. Dark brown and very translucent. Small swirl of khaki head. Chocolate malt aroma with a touch of black liquorice. Very sweet taste, a bit much for me.loads of liquorice with a little bit of coffee. Watery body with no carbonation. It's just about okay.

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.
