Pours bright golden with a white head
A - toffee/caramel with floral undertones
F - bready, with fairly muted hop character. Much more body than a lot of ipas, fair bitterness. Over all a nice malty base with floral elderflower aroma and flavour from the hops, it's clean, fresh and easy drinking. Nice IPA.
Jan 2025 - just had a 3.4%abv version, ABV dropped from 3.8 - 3.4%. It similar to how I remeber it but I think the hops are not as prominent as they where.

1/2 pint cask @ The Harp, Covent Garden.
Pâle/dorée, col épais crémeux blanc.
Arôme est frais houblonné, léger rétro-nasal fleuri avec un léger apport malté anglais.
Palais pâle, Marris qui assurent une bonne balance, houblonné plasiant sur le fleuri rappelant un peu un côté fleur de sureau. Petite note beurrée qui se retrouve parfois dû au cask?
Léger et bien pintable.

Pint at the Old Joint Stock. Clear golden pour, small foamy white head, rings of lacing. Biscuity, malty aroma, grainy. Taste follows with malts and a bit of crispy hops, fading out to a dry finish.

First hot golde with Cloin. On cask at The Parcel Yard Kings Cross. Pours a clear copper gold with frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is grapefruit and pine. Medium body, grass, citrus, resin bite, very good.

Cask at the pub: Light aromas of citrus, some hops. Tase is malt/bread with some fruity notes. OK, but not mindblowing...
