A 500ml bottle brought back from Cheddar by my wife. A perfectly looking IPA on pouring, golden amber with a foamy cream head. Aromas & tastes of citrus, also tastes of resin, pine & flora. Medium bitterness & slightly dry finish. Different bottle of beer in my home No. 2024

Bottle from Rich's Cider, Highbridge. Aroma combines pine with a vinous edge and underlying fruit. Hazy-opaque amber. Thin foamy translucent white head. Medium-heavy bitter. Resinous with s vinous edge and grapefruit. Underlying cardboard malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Nice enough... but always feel like an old school brewery like this doesn't quite get how to handle fancy forrin hops.

GBBF Day 2. Cask. Mild hazy gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, modest fine carbonation. Light sweet pale malts, whisper of grain. Light floral hops. Not getting any Kiwi hop character. Light semi dry finish. Inoffensive but quite bland.

Cask @ Windmill Inn, Portishead. Golden with an extremely light haziness and a thin head. Has a decent stated pale ale texture and taste that’s quite hoppy.

Bottle online from The Cheddar Brewery. Pours a murky amber colour with a thinnish bubbly off white head. Aroma is a little citrusy, pineapple and a touch of caramel. Taste has more citrus notes, a touch of orange and orange pith, very light hints of pineapple and caramel and also a touch of peppery spice. Thinnish body, low carbonation and slightly watery mouthfeel. Could probably do with a bit more body but still quite tasty. Decent.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 3/4/2018. Deep gold in colour, with a frothy, off-white, head. Sharp citrus hops, some orange and pineapple fruit, biscuity malts and a dryish finish. Good.

500ml bottle. Orange golden colour with a white foam head leaving lacing. Aroma of caramel, malt, fruity orange citrus. Taste is malty, toffee, fruity, with zesty orange hop, some biscuit, slight marzipan note, and some dusty bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel, light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi-dry finish. Quite drinkable.
