Keg, half-pint, shared with Finn at Fisherman's Cottage. Patchy white head, close to clear golden body, scattered lacing. Moderate aromas of lemony hops. Balanced taste of juicy malts and lemony hops. Nice bitter fruity ending. Pretty good. (Reading 24.10.2019).

Keg at the Pint Shop, Oxford, 03/11/17. Golden copper with a decent egg shell white head. Nose is caramel, light citric peel, bread dough, straw. Taste comprises caramel, toasted grains, orange peel, straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with moderate hop bitterness. Ok but lacks hop presence.

Keg at Brewery Club, Members Night,XT Brewery, Long Crendon, Bucks, Thursday 2nd March 2017. *Please note that this beer has now been re-branded as Snake Oil, however even in the brewery there are a lot of cans as above with the IPA details. Pours dark god with a white head. Initially I pick up a touch of toffee but then a citrussy element comes through, reasonably hoppy, good bitterness, dry finish, a little bit of bile on the nose (I get that with some beers, it must be one of the C hops that does this for me) Pretty good beer.

Many thanks to ThirstyBird for this can. Floral fresh nose, hints of malt and hop oil. The beer starts fresh hoped and sessionable with malty hints in the body. The body is moderate sweet, slightly dry malty. Moderate bitterness there, the hops are floral on top, but not too intense. Fresh pine and hints of resin there, some minty elements and hints of citrus. Refreshing with a moderate bitter but dry aftertaste with malty hints.
