Keg at Water House JDW, Durham. Served chilled. Clear amber colour, white foam head leaving lacing and tropical fruity hop aroma. Taste is malt caramel with hoppy grapefruit bitterness. Smoothish mouthfeel, medium body, soft carbonation, dry tangy bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Keg @ Picture House JDW, Colwyn Bay [281014]
Golden amber, clear, thin white head
Aroma of soft citrus hops, soft light sweet malt, low aroma
Taste of citrus zest, fairly bitter zest, quite sweet caramel background, fair amount of bitter zest hop in here, not fruity, getting a dab of peppery hop
Palate - Medium carb and body. Finish of lingering bitter zest, getting a hint of sweet honey caramel
Overall - Not brilliant but not bad at all

Keg at the moon under water Watford. Aroma is grassy hop, bit tired grains, dull veg hop mater. Flavour is composed of spicy grassy hop. Assertive but dirty burnt grass bitterness. Unfortunately banks have done this beer a disservice. Palate is crisp with highish carbonation. Not a fan.

Keg @ Montgomery’s Tower, Shrewsbury. Pours clear amber with thin white head. Aroma is soft fruits. Taste is weak, thin hop flavours. Rather bland taste with vague lime nudges. Disappointing.

On tap at Crystal Palace (JDW) Glasgow. Dark golden coloured, small white head, mild hoppy nose. Bready, cereals, light notes of tropical fruits with pleasant hop profile overall. Not bad.

Keg pint in my local Wetherspoons on 11th Oct 2014. Clear golden pour with a white, lasting head. Aroma was of cereals and hints of tropical fruits with traces of citrus sourness in the background. Flavours the same. I quite enjoyed it actually. Bloody cold to start with though.

Keg at The Moon Under water, Balham. It pours orange with a small off-white head. The nose is soft, orange, sweet citrus, Weetabix, cereal and toasty grain. The taste is bitter-sweet, orange rind, marmalade, toast and more Weetabix with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Not a whole lot to it, other than Weetabix. So-so.

Keg at JDW Charlie Hall; clear golden amber pour with a soapy white head, starch and light pine aroma, taste is quite malt forward with some hops coming in a the end of tangerine and grapefruit, served way to cold.
