On tap at Wig & Pen, pours a cloudy dark orangey brown with a medium white head. Aroma brings out English hops and a little caramel. Flavour is very English but fairly pungent in the hop department, with caramel bready notes and a little butterscotch.

Cask at the brewpub. Bright amber. Earthy, caramel, light bitterness, an old school cask ale.

Citrus and pine jump from the nose. Soft body with moderate bitterness. Rounded and balanced, but not all that exciting.

Handpump at the brewpub. Pours slightly cloudy dark amber. Banana aroma, ripe and sweet. Taste is also sweet and fruity, but due to the handpump with an usual smooth texture for an IPA.
