Tasting at Bruce’s pad. Thanks to Leighton. Light haze on this amber beer, good pale cream coloured head. Palate is dry, light and airy. Dry lactose creamy malt. Pithy grapefruit bitterness with lesser orange peel. Dry finish with a medium bitter linger. Tasty but the dryness started to grate.

Bottle at Bruce’s. It pours clear amber with a small white head. The nose is sweet, orange, mango, sherbet, lactose and refreshers. The taste is pine, earth, decent bitterness, touch of booze, yoghurt, leaf, faint resin and pithy orange with a very dry, bitter finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Not bad, but then again nothing special.

Tap at the Cask, Pimlico, 07/06/13. Hazed orange amber with a thin off white head that clears to the edge leaving a small pond. Nose is bitter orange, dank hops, grass, summer fruit. Taste comprises orange pith, bitter hops, grass, grapefruit, dark orange marmalade. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, hop bitterness in the finish. Ok IPA, drinkable but lacks direction somewhat and doesn’t tick all the boxes to make it a great.

Bottle shared at Bruce’s during day one of Jack’s Farewell Tour - this one I picked up at the North London Mecca, Kris Wines. Pours lightly hazy amber with a creamy, frothy white head. Bready malts in the nose, some orange and melon. Light to medium sweet flavor, lots of bitter citrus, melon, mango. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with some fruity yoghurt, berries, mango and melon, some juicy citrus, citrus rind. Decent.
