Cask at Volo. Hazy orange pour, with a small off white head. Big juicy hop Aroma. Loads of citrus juice, and zesty aromas. Mango, and peace.... Impressive. Soft mouth feel, soft carb from the cask pour. Light bitterness, exceptionally drinkable, big fruity finish with more citrus punch. Loved it.

This APA poured a deep amber colour with a creamy, white head. Nice lacing. Scents include biscuit, dough and hops. First swig was very nice with flavours of malt, hops that start out with a little grass and end in a little citrus. Finish is hay and malt with medium hop bitterness lingering.

Hazy medium amber under a generous white head. Nose is pine and citrus with some bread. Flavour is quite buttery with a medium bitterness in the middle. Mouth is medium slick with average carbonation. 7/4-/5/3+/12

Slightly hazed golden colour with a frothy-creamy head, good retention and some light patchy lace. Aromas of grapefruit juices from the hops over the caramel malts. The taste has the nice grainy cereal malt with well-balanced hops which are not too extreme, but do give a nice dry finish. Gets hazier at last pour. Some nice tropical fruits blended in here. Quite a nice hoppy American Pale Ale.

Keg at Bar Hop. Hazy orange body with a thick white head. Good lacing. Aroma of orange pith and honey. Flavour of sweet malt, dried orange peel and pine. Medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Quite sweet but a decent APA.
