jjsint	2.9 Pig Pub Guinea Pig Keg tap at the Pig in Muck, Claybrooke Magna. Dark brown, slightly translucent with a creamy beige head. Light aroma of dark malts, some chocolate, deep earthy notes. Bittersweet taste, a bit of an odd herbal note which hangs on through the finish. I like their beer but not convinced by this one. Saturday, February 12, 2022
jjsint	3.3 Pig Pub Pig's Best Bitter Handpull cask from the Pig in Muck, Claybrooke Magna, as Pig Pub Best Bitter. Reddish copper with a thin tight off-white head. Light resinous malts in the aroma. Some earthy character and stone fruits. Taste is well-balanced if lacking in character promised by the aroma. Ending on a pleasant bitter finish with light spice on the aftertaste. A very well-crafted bitter. Saturday, February 12, 2022

jjsint	3.2 Pig Pub Pale Ale Mosaic Gravity cask at the 2020 Leicester Beer Festival. Golden and clear, with only a small ring of head and the lightest suggestion of natural carbonation. The beer has a slight sweaty scent with light notes of apricot. Bittersweet taste with a fruity Mosaic note toward the end of the sip. Slightly more bitter in the finish, with soft carbonation. It's a decent little beer but could do with a bit more hop character, still as it is it's a decent easy drinking gold. Wednesday, February 26, 2020
