Cask handpull at Baker Street Spoons. Clear pale brown with no head. oh now that is not my type of bitter. Bit of green apple. Yeast character on aroma carries into body. Not enough malt or hop balance to cope with the strong yeast character. Ok but not me

Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons. Hazed gold with little head. Another beer that is Spooned to near death and close to drainpour, I did in fact leave most of it. Sourish and fruity in a slightly unpleasant way. There was the remains of a hoppy type beer, but this was really unfortunate.

Cask conditioned handpump King Billy Northampton. A hazy blonde coloured beer with little head. Boozy in the nose with straw notes. Tropical fruit in the mouth. A little medicinal. Passable.

Cask, Last Plantagenet, Leicester. Golden with a white foam. Aromas are lemon with tinned pineapple juice with lots of honey and caramel. Hay with herbal notes. Flavours are sweet lemon and caramel with biscuit and soft yeast and spices. Fruity and dry to finish. It is very OK.

Half, cask at the City Arms in Manchester. Clear amber body. Off-white head that dissipates quickly. Fragile lacing. Malt-fruity nose. Caramel malts in flavour supported by a fruity twist. Mild and dry bitterness to the finish. Rather well bodied. Above the average level. My last drink in Manchester on this trip – Leeds next. 08.07.2012.
