On cask at The Craven Arms, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Nose brings out piney and herbal hops, backed by just enough biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with vegetal and herbal hops, and biscuity malt to back. Not overly thrilling. Too much of a mushroomy, vegetal quality. Meh.

Keg at Pelt Trader, Cannon Street, London. A golden/amber coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, tropical fruit aroma. Tastes hoppy, wonderful Sorachi which I find hard to describe, tropical fruit, lemon, slightly sweet. Very drinkable IPA from Buxton.

Bottle from Beer Gonzo, Coventry on the w/e of Worcester’s humbling of Coventry City 2-1. Had this at home Monday 17th November 2014 Pours hazy gold a bit of cats pee on nose. Wonderful really, really soft carbonation. Hoppy burps a little tropical fruit, slight harshness at back end, lemon drizzle cake and a lovely bitterness balanced with a mellow sweetness throughout. A brilliant beer, I am inclined to up this rating from 4.1 north loving it. A7 A4 T9 P5 Ov16 4.1

Amber, hazy, fluffy white head
Aroma - Big hoppy nose, piney, grapefruit zest, some tropical notes, sweet fruity malts
Taste of sweet fruity malts, citrus zest, grapefruit zest, some tropical notes. getting a grassy herbal edge, nice sweet fruiyy malts, alcohol fairly well hidden
Palate - Medium carb and body, good bitter sweet balance, bit sticky. Finish as main flavour, bitter hops, sweet malt on the tail, maybe a tad over sweet.
Overall - Yeah it’s very good but not quite as good as axe edge
