Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Beer#35. ST HELIER. Also had before at the Hart & Spool, Borehamwood. Golden-amber with a small bubbly head. Has a mild fruity character, but a more dominant bitterness, as well as being easy-drinking.

Cask. Parcel Yard, King’s Cross. Clear gold. Bubbly, sticky, bright white head. Decent, peachy, grapefruit hop to this. Some piny notes, too. Taste is crisp bitter. Creamy palate, that the hops give a lift to. Finishes brisk, but bright bitter. Good, sessionable cask beer. Smells great.

Gravity cask @ the NWAF ’14, Derby. Dark gold to light amber. Spicy, peppery hop aroma with some bubblegum and caramel notes. Tastes bittersweet with some odd umami (meat?) flavours rolling around. A bit of salt. Strange but nice.

Bottle from Ales By Mail [230114]
Golden amber, clear, thin white head that dissipates
Aroma - citrus hops, soft graprfuit, slight lemon, soft sweet fruity light malts
Taste - Soft citrus, mellow grapefruit, slight lemon, soft fruity malt, some caramel, touch of toasted malts, flavour a bit too light
Palate - Medium carb, light body, bit oily. Finish - light citrus, quite thirst quenching, soft bitter, light finish
Overall - OK but was expecting it to be better from the aroma. Prob better on cask. Don’t understand why it’s not in a 500ml bottle as its only 4%.
