Cold keg at the Shakespeares Head, Holborn. Pours slightly hazy amber colour with a small lasting off-white head. Aroma of hop, tropical and citrus fruit, and caramel (albeit the aroma was quite difficult to decipher over the top of this 'spoons general aroma of burgers and fish n chips which dominated the entire place). Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Would like to try this again elsewhere from cask.

Cask at St Albans Beer & Cider Festival 2017, St Albans, Herts. A hazy golden coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, fruity aroma. The taste is rather subdued, vaguely hoppy, fruity and served way too warm. When cask is on form it is great, when it is served like this it is crap.

Can at home. A pleasingly cloudy appearance and a strong aroma of fruity hops. Plenty of fruity hops in the flavour and a chunky mouthfeel. Very drinkable.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at the Grain Barge, Bristol 8/4/2017. Hazy gold, with a small, off-white, head. Some tropical fruit, sweet, biscuity, malts, grassy hops and a lingering, dryish, finish. Enjoyable.

Cask at the Falcon (JDW), High Wycombe. A pale straw pour with a thin white head; tropical fruit aroma, with pineapple to the fore; thin in th emouth with a pineapple squash taste; then vegetal bitterness before a clean dry finish. A pleasant English attempt at an APA, but not the best.
