Cask-conditioned at the Punchbowl (JDW), York, March 2020. Amber in colour, with a frothy, white, head. A touch of citrus hop and fruit, chewy, slightly spicy, malts, leading to a dryish finish. Fine.

Beer share at Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury; 11th June 2018. Thanks Mike for the 330ml bottle of this (BBE Sep 2018). Clear golden pour, white topping. I thought this very hoppy, yet sweet in nature until the finish which gave a fairly harsh bitterness. Interesting brew.

330ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, June 18, thanks to Mike for this. Clear gold, small white head. Aroma is fruity, hoppy. Taste is crisp, fruity English hops, fairly robust, a touch old school, like IPAs used to be. Good.

Bottle. Home Bargains. 4.6%. Clear, copper colour. Frothy and lasting, off white head. Nose has butterscotch. Stewed and strained, tea leaf hop. Taste is sweet and buttery. Heavy mouthfeel. Harsh, stewed hop bitterness to finish. Horrible.

Bottle from Pivný raj Would be good for bitter, if IPA as promised on the bottle I would have serious doubts as it doesn't have almost anything from this style.

On tap at Fly In The Loaf. Pours a clear gold with an amber hue and a white head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has notes of grass and light flora with grains and straw backing. Flavor has a combination of bread and grass with some earthy grains backing.
