Cask handpull at County Hotel Ashford. Copper colour slight haze lasting cream head. Yes quite a hoppy bitter. In fact the hops are excellent. Very good butter that is bitter and hoppy. Nice. Could do with a bit more backbone but it has some ok bischit and that finishing hop us fresh and biting. Good

500ml bottle. Pours light golden with a small head. Aroma is caramel malt and lemon. Some lemon and malt to start, with a tart bitter finish. Could be a bit fuller in the mouth.

bottle. Cloudy golden yellow, mid-sized fluffy head. Very shy fruity nose. Not as fruity as suggested by the aroma, but still fairly fruity. Hints of peach and green apple. Good malty background and some aromatic and bitter hops in the lingering finish. Overall with a yeasty character that reminded me of a German Hefeweizen.

50 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is subdued fruity and mild caramel malt. Flavour holds a mild fruity note to a classic medium sweet caramel malt. Goes into more orange fruity finish with a slowly building bitterness. Ends dry,

Medium offwhite fine-laced foam. Amber body with small particles, somewhat hazy. Faint hoppy tea aroma. Delicate dry-and-sweet fruity resiny hoppy taste. Body is medium. Some malts and tea, but shoved into the background by the powerful hops. Good balance, though. Dry metallic fruit and wood aftertaste. Quite unusual, but very nice. (0.5l bottle from Centra.)
