Cask at Ebenezers, Nantwich. Pours golden yellow with a small frothy off-white head. Not much of an aroma – just hints of malts and stale biscuits. In the mouth it is quite sweet but with also a little bitterness and a creamy texture. Flavour has malts, mixed hops and hints of spices and pine. Finish is slightly sweet. This is reasonable – but somewhat bland.

Cask at Crown Hotel, Nantwich. Pours golden yellow with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. There is a sweet aroma with caramel prominent, but also hints of tangerine and citrus. In the mouth it is quite bitter with a creamy texture. Flavour is mixed hops, marmalade, pine and traces of citrus and underlying malts. The finish is quite bitter with sharp and sticky hints as well. This isn’t at all bad.

On tap at Runaway Brewery Tap. Pours a murky golden yellow with no head whatsoever. The aroma is muted – just hints of citrus and caramel. In the mouth it starts off slightly sweet and juicy but after a short while it suddenly becomes extremely bitter. That is because the chilli has kicked in and dominates the previous lime and salt flavouring. The flames last into the bitter finish. This is OK, but somewhat weird to say the least !

Cask at Crown, Stockport. Pours a dark reddish-brown with a sizable foamy cream head. There’s malts and honey in the aroma. In the mouth it is quite sweet with a creamy texture. Flavour has malts, nuts, caramel and toffee. After a while some sharpness becomes evident and overall tangy leading to a dry and slightly spicy finish. This is decent – but it doesn’t have much of a lager characteristic.

Cask at Midland, Stockport. Pours golden yellow with a small foamy off-white head and excellent lacing. Is slow to settle but does so eventually. Malts to the fore over hops in the aroma – plus a hint of apples. In the mouth it starts of sweet (and somewhat watery) but with an underlying bitterness that gradually increases. Flavour has hops. Malts, pine and a hint of autumn fruits with citrus and spices coming through later leading to a slightly dry finish. This is decent – and quite swiggable.

Cask at Alexandra, Derby. Pours almost black with a small foamy tan head. The aroma is mainly roasted malts with just a hint of coffee. In the mouth it is quite sweet initially but some underlying bitterness comes through pretty quickly. Roasted malts are strong again plus chocolate and hints of apricot, liquorice and humbug coming later. Finish is slightly dry. This is quite nice
