29th July 2016: cask pint in The Pheasant, Wellington Shropshire. Golden pour that took time to clear, full white head on top. Aroma was fruity with an orange lead, taste similar, plenty of hop action going on, not so much malty participation to my palate. Mild citrusy/bitter notes in the aftertaste: decent.

Cask at Euston Tap, London. Murky yellow color, good creamy white head. Light riped pineapple aroma. Light-bodied. Sweetish pineapple flavor. Sweetish malty, not much bitterness. Smooth but easy and watery.

Cask at Craft Beer Co, Clerkenwell on 27th February 2015. Clearing gold with creamy white foam top and initial lacing. Tangy citrus aroma with biscuity malt. Hoppy in-mouth with rich blend of grass, citrus, malt and woodsmoke. End is citric, smoky and increasingly bitter yet not overpoweringly so. Well-crafted session ale. Medium-bodied with a zingy mouthfeel.

Light sweet flavor with a bit of plastic-like astringency, further lemon, grains, hay. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Dry and fairly bitter on the finish, some grass and pithy citrus. OK.
