Craft Clerkenwell. Light haze on this gold beer, little white head. Palate is light and smooth with moderate carbonation. Smooth pale malt. Nice mix of what tastes like Citra hops and NZ hop floral hops. Touch of lime here as well. Really nicely integrated. Finishes smooth and a little dry. Super drinkable.

Cask at CBC Clerkenwell - London. Pours clear gold with a lingering, white foam head. Nose of tangerine and cat pee. Medium sweet flavor with juicy citrus fruits, lightly bready pale malts. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly resinous finish, good and juicy citrus, light pine needles, a bit more aged urine. Solid.

Cask at Craft Clerkenwell. It pours golden yellow with a small white head. The nose is pungent hoppiness, pine, earth, grapefruit, touch of farmyard and resin. The taste is pine, bitter, earth, zesty citrus, grapefruit, resinous and a touch of alcohol with a dry bitter finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Little bit cloying perhaps. Would love to have this on keg....

Aroma: Biscuit, orange, apricot and vine tomatoes.
Appearance: Hazy golden body with a thin white head. No visible carbonation. Light lacing.
Taste: Very hoppy with much more of a boozy kick to it than the regular Bell Rock. Freshly rubbed hops, earthy and slightly medicinal. Dry, bitter finish.
Palate: Medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Flat carbonation.
Overall: I prefer this to the regular Bell Rock - the extra hops and alcohol content add to the flavour and complexity. Basically, it’s more of an IPA as opposed to a Golden Ale. Tastes quite boozy for its strength, though.
