UPDATED: JUN 23, 2009 1. Cask Handpump at the Rat & Ratchet, Huddersfield 16/11/2002 Clear golden coloured with a pale aroma. Some alcohol present. Slightly citrus flavoured and bitter on the palate in the finish. 2. Cask Handpump at the Harlequin, Sheffield 17/08/2007 Hop aroma. Clear golden coloured hoppy and floral with a crisp and slightly bitter finish.

Clear golden pale hue. Lacy light white head. Very tasty, lemony and orangey hops remind of orange tea. Flowery and perfumey at the same time, just an aromatic blend of tasty hops. Soft underlying mineral profile. Minimalist malts are crisp and peasant, gently bready and the ensemble is refreshing and satisfying.

Cask handpump at the Swan in the Rushes, Loughborough. Pristine golden beer with a creamy white head. A lot of citrus flavour and nicely bitter. Light to medium bodied; very easy to drink. Superb.

I don’t really see the difference amoong all these Durham’s beers. It has a perfumed aroma, like flowers, but awful taste like squashy cream, I don’t like it.
