Draft at Cherry Reds, Birmingham. Very hazy dark orange with small white head. Aroma is slightly medicinal with a tangy tropical pineapple, papaya and a softer peach. Flavour of pineapple, guava, lime with a moderate but building bitter hop profile. Medium bodied with a fine lively carbonation which works well. Decent.

440ml can 'Celebrating the 60th Anniversary of Asda', this one at 4.5%. Clear light copper amber pour with white head; decent retention and lacing. Aroma of pale malt with leafy hop, fruit cake and a touch of caramel. Flavour is woody and leafy with sweet cake, stone fruits, bread crust and caramel. Light to mid bodied with a nice fine carbonation. A good bitter.

330ml can. Darkish brown with beige foam. Aroma of sweet malts with some nuts, chocolate, coffee and dusty hints. Taste also sweet and malt led with a slightly watered down earthiness before cocoa, coffee, mild sour drop and light mint come in with a decent bitterness to make this quite interesting. Body is light to medium but slick enough for the strength.

Tap at The Colmore, Birmingham. Black pour with beige to tanned head and good retention and lacing. Aroma has a bitter roastiness with coffee and hint of chocolate. Flavour wise I'm picking up more milk chocolate than coffee but very flavoursome. Medium bodied, semi-dry. Very good.

330ml can from Beer52. Misted gold with white head and decent retention. Aroma has a pleasant fragrant citrus and tropical fruit rind with mild pine. Taste has a moderate citrus pithiness with some grassy spice notes. Good body for the strength. Well balanced.

330ml can from Beer52. Pours a dark brown to near black with beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, nuts, hint of berry, some sweetness - not picking up much chocolate. Taste has a lot more of the latter although no real malt layers here. On the other hand there is some complexity from the earthiness and hops with blueberry, wood, herbal notes which helps to give an enjoyable finish to this. Overall it was quite enjoyable.

Cask at Cherry Reds, Birmingham. Semi-hazed gold with white head and very good retention. There is a tangy fruit and white pepper aroma. Flavour again in tangy and quite citric with notes of cereals, chewitt sweets and mint. Medium bodied, drying. OK.
