An easy drinking and refreshing IPA. Fresh dry hop, herbal character is provided by the mix of Challenger and First Gold hops. The use of crystal malt in the grist gives a satisfying toffee/caramel note and the addition of a little black malt adds just enough astringency to give a clean, dry finish.
Malts: Pale, crystal and black malt.
Hops: Challenger, Pilgrim and First Gold.

Cask at the Bell, Kesgrave. Backlog rating from historic scoring. No tasting notes kept, just rating. Slightly better than bottled version.

Half pint at The Nicholas Culpeper, Gatwick North Terminal. Pours sparkling (even bubbly) amber to orange. Off-white head is scarce and lasts a blink. Aroma is very low: poor leather, horse blanket, pork lard... On the good side there’s honey, rosemary and caramel. Mouthfeel is soft, watery, light, dry, fresh, low-carb. Abrupt finish. Not my cup’o’tea.

Cask at The Alma, Upper Hale. Sweet and sour yeasty aroma. Dark Amber. Creamy off-white head. Sweet through to a light bitterness. However the more I drink the more sugary it seems to get. Light bodied. Watery with a dish water finish. Really quite crap.

Cask @ Fleming Arms, Southampton. Unclear deep golden body with a small off-white head. Not much aroma here, hint of malt and caramel. Flavor is light and smooth malt, some caramel, light fruity with a hint of dry fruit and very moderate bitterness. Medium body and short aftertaste. Smooth with no faults, but to light and smooth for my likings.

Cask in Cairns, Argyle St. Clear amber with a decent creamy head. Slight aroma of cereal, grass, taste is sweet, creamy with a little fruity hop in there somewhere. Pretty bland tbh
