Cask (handpulled) at the Brunswick, Derby. Decent maltyness, off-copper body with slight head. Last beer of the day on a Derby crawl, not a bad beer to end on. Mind you, Dan - Mince of Tang? Did they play a set on BBC6 last week ;)

Hand pulled at the Anchor, Birmingham. Goldenish, no head. Bready feeling throughout the mouthful, which is not nice, and does not encourage further sipping. A mince of tang in the middle, but this is average at best.
