Cask conditioned Handpump Turf Tavern Oxford. A copper coloured beer with a whitish head and lacing. A sweetish malty beer with house yeast. The sweet fruitiness gives it a decent character. There is a banana note too. Better than expected from Wadworth.

Cask, Star & Garter, Leicester. Golden with a firm bright white head. Aromas are stewed apple, cabbage and plastic with cream and some green apple. Lightly woody with hints of faeces. Flavours are dry biscuit malts with sweet and sour citrus. Horrible bitterness on the finish with a plastic aftertaste. Very unbalanced despite the beer name.
