Cask, The Last Plantagenet, Leicester. Golden with a white foam. Aromas are lemon rind with grain and hints of honey. Trace lime with floral notes and spices. Flavours are peanuts wit dry lager malt and mellow lemon. Spritzy yeast with base biscuit malts. Dry and peppery on the finish. I liked it.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours golden with a minimal white head. Aroma of citrus, sweet dry hops. Medium smooth creamy body, flavour of sweet caramel malt and lemon. Dry, slightly malty and muted hop aftertaste.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Syruppy body and a poruous but lasting white head. Very gulpable initial taste and a clean cascade of trail mix tasting malt on the palate. The finish slips away from any of the dry promise of mangoey pulp coming through the yeastyness on the palate.
A nice option on cask, even though I’ve had my fair share of stale, flatline pours of Inveralmond gear. Nothing special in any regard
Cask, The Chanter, Edinburgh (Ver and Lamb’s Birthday)
