Wonderfully hoppy with a firm malt backbone. Columbus hops bring that Big C citrus hit.

(Cask at Southampton Arms, Kentish Town, London, 20 Nov 2013) Golden colour with brief, white head. Malty, fruity nose with tropical fruit, honey, grass and bready malt. Malty, fruity taste with notes of honey, citrus, apricots, grassy hops, a solid malt structure and a generous spicy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Well made and quite tasty. Nice one.

1/2 Pint Cask @ Wenlock Arms. Pale golden, no head safe for some white bubbles (intentionally). Smell is lots of kiwi, floral, flowers, light grass - I am thinking galaxy. Taste is a bit watery / typical cask feel - kiwi, floral, herbs, flowers, white grapes, light bitter herb. Cask body - quite enjoyable.
