Classic strong pale ale with a light gold appearance with a creamy white head which remains throughout the drink. Complex hoppy aroma due to lots of Styrian hops. Delicate fruity malt taste and low in carbonation makes this beer hugely drinkable and sessionable whilst standing out from the crowd.

Cask @ Salopian, Shrewsbury. Pours clear gold. Fairly average but drinkable bitter with some fruity hop notes.

Cask (Isis, Sunderland) - Golden in colour. Grapefruit, lime and hints of malt in the aroma. Peach, lime and grapefruit all feature in the flavour. Not bad and quite drinkable.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 3/3/2014. Deep amber with a slight, off-white head. Fruity beer, with some marmalade, caramel, cereal mlats and a decent, bitter finish. Fine.

Amber with a little reddish accent. Fruity, some anglotartness, not sure it’s coming together...the malt is understated and maybe more overt hop fruitiness would sort this out a bit.

Aroma: Green hop aroma and musty pale malt.
Appearance: Muddy amber body with a thin white head that holds well. No visible carbonation. Nice lacing.
Taste: Sharp lime, grass and earth. Smooth but not particularly interesting.
Palate: Medium body with an oily texture. Flat carbonation.
Overall: A decent beer, though I’m not quite sure what style it is - it’s listed here as a Bitter, it calls itself an IPA (despite being just 4.4% ABV) but tastes like a Pale Ale. Not too dissimilar to Caledonian’s Deuchars IPA (which really isn’t an IPA either).

Cask at Voodoo Cafe Bar in Darlington. Clear orange amber colour, creamy fine white head leaving lots of lacing and malty hoppy aroma. Smooth deep bitterness with caramel, resiny citrus hop, and earthy, sourish notes. Medium bodied, gives a lingering back of the throat bitter finish. Nice satisfying IPA.
