Cask at the Wharf. A clear deep golden beer with some white bubbles on top. Malt dominates the aroma, with some pine cones and grapefruit. Caramel notes. It’s medium bodied and semi-dry on the palate, with a very soft carbonation. Some caramel malts and a little bitterness in the flavor. Some pine cones too. Long piney finish. 150301

Served from cask dispense into a plastic oversized UK pint glass at the ’Quinns Head’ pub inside the Twickenham Stoop Rugby stadium during half time of the Harlequins vs London Irish (Feb ’12) Taking off my ’not a big fan of GK family’ blinkers I reviewed this beer and made my notes from the quiet moments of the 2nd half! Pours a clear golden colour with a large pure white frothy head. Malts and a light caramel come over in the nose but in general not a particularly aromatic beer! Was expecting the ’blandometer’ to be rather high after smelling but I was wrong, this beer does have a decent little hoppy punch to it! Citrus hops come across well, along with toffee/caramel in the background and nice zingy aftertaste with a little lemon. Thinnish body, slightly watery but overall I thought this beer stood up fairly well!
