Cask at Pig's Ear. Near clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, fairly smooth, decent fine carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. Smooth pine into a very good candy fruit hop goodness. Not your modern Mosaic or HBC630, more of resinous Opal Fruits vibe that reminds me of a flash in the pan hop from several years ago, the name escapes me but Kernel did a single hop APA with it. Anyway! A fine hoppy IPA in very good nick.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Borough Wines, Wilton Way. Pours mostly clear golden-bronze with a foamy topping. Light to medium sweet flavour, subtle faded pine, semi-ripe citrus fruits, sun-kissed malts. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly resinous finish, more subtly toasted malts, orange rind, pine. Not bad.
