Tap at Raven, Bath. Filtered orange-tan body. Foamy off-white head. Earthy delicate nelson tones, not juicy like a US hop bomb, more earthy and subtle. Quite nice, could be a little more hop forward.

Cask pint at the White Swan JDW, Solihull. Poured a clear golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light woody hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a smooth, gluey yeast, light floral, big woody hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Cask @ Coach & Horses with Mike. Golden appearance with white head. Light floral nose. Gentle floral hints with biscuity malt and a pronounced bitterness. Lacks the promised punchiness, expected more of the hop characteristics to shine through but fine overall.
