Cask conditioned handpump The Rake London. A brown beer with a slight haze and an off-white head. decent citrus fruit in the nose, grapefruit to the fore. Orangey bitterness in the mouth with a fairly sweet but not spoiling malt. Tastes bigger than its ABV, hence there’s a tendency towards chewiness but it is pretty nice.

Hand pulled at the Wellington, Birmingham. Warm, leafy hop. Some jammy citrus fruit, like lemon jaffa cake. Slight BO fragrance somewhere in the mix. Big, brassy, but tasty.

Cask, The Pub, Leicester. Amber brown with an off white foam. Aromas are toffee with melon and spices. Weetabix with some nuttiness.  Flavoyrs are weetabix malts and grapefruit with traces of floral honey.  Spicy and dry on the finish. Typically good.
