From keg at Heathrow Airport. Was told off by bartender for trying to order a small glass. "You have to drink a man’s drink!" Thereby rating a decent pint :-) Slightly hazy pale straw colour. Uneven off-white head. Aroma and taste of citrus marmelade, grapefruit and biscuits. Smooth mouthfeel. Well-balanced and refreshing! Very quaffable, which is good, as the flight starts boarding now...

Half pint, from tap. Chilled down a bit too far when served at The Flying Horse (JDW). Clear golden colored body. Near-naked surface. Dotted spots on the glassware. Modest floral hops on the nose, inviting. Fruit hoppy taste, mandarin, lemon, and orange. Refreshing bitter finish. Nice and tasty (airside Gatwick Airport 23.02.2015).

Pint in Wetherspoons. Golden with a creamy head, moderate hoppy aroma, mild hoppy flavour. Not the strongest tasting American IPA but would be good for an afternoon or evening session
