Cask at the moon under water Watford Jdw. A clear golden orange coloured pour with a lasting white cap. Aroma is subdued, earthy grains, bread. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, rounded bready grains, orange rind, vague spicy nz hop. Midget gems. Palate is semi sweet, spicy, decent cask condition. Little bit muddled.

Cask at the Last Post, Southend on 10th December 2025. Just shy of clear pale gold with shallow whitish foam and full lacing. Fruity and grassy hoppiness in aroma. Citrus zest and grassiness in-mouth and a blend of grassy hops and tangy fruits to finish. Smooth mouthfeel and a medium body. Very pleasant.

Eartha Kitt provided the original vocals to 'Santa Baby'. Slightly paler golden coloured. Weaker textured than its strength would suggest, not bad though, and with a good smoothness. Mildly spiced hoppy beer, but the latter remains dominant.

Hand pulled pint in the Ritz (a Spoons in Lincoln), lunchtime on 29th November 2025. Golden orange body, clean and clear, white crown on top. Citrus and white wine aroma/taste. Decent enough without getting my senses too excited.

Bottle. Welbeck Abbey Farm Shop. The home of the best pork sausages for miles around. And it’s where Stichelton cheese is produced, too. Clear as a bell, medium gold. Decent white foam stays the course. Nose has sweet, nutty grain. Robust, leafy hop. Taste has a matching sweetness, with a leafy bitterness following up. Pretty smooth mouthfeel. Medium body. Fine carbonation. Lingering bitterness to finish. Nice golde.

Cask, handpump at The Hunters, Horsley Woodhouse, Derbyshire Tuesday 24th December 2013 Golden with white head. Initially very sweet with vanilla flavours but the Aussie Hop duo make a late and very succesful burst and leave a long underlying bitterness, actually turns out to ge a surprisingly good and better beer thsn you expect it yo be.
