Missed connection at Leeds train station allowed for this pre National Winter Ale Festival ale to get things started. A sugary-hoppy smoothish number.

Cask handpull at Thomas Ingoldsby JDW Canterbury. Clear amber colour lasting beige head. Some white stone fruit flavour in the mouth like peaches and nectarine. Light biscuit malt flavour. Light bitterness on the finish. Decent condition and temperature it's ok. More of a bitter than session ipa.

Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours a slightly hazy golden amber with a medium sized foamy almost white head and good lacing. The aroma is pretty faint. Just hops at first but some citrus coming through later. In the mouth it is sweet and smooth with floral hops, tangerine and citrus. Hints of lemon and stone fruits too after a while. Sweetness lasts into the slightly dry finish. This is reasonable but not really an IPA.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A slightly hazy golden amber pour with tight cream head; sour grainy aroma; dry in the mouth with a sour grainy taste and some butterscotch and honey; then a herbal bitterness and a little spice to finish. An odd IPA.

Cask at The Snakecatcher, Brockenhurst. Aroma is sweet. Caramel and fruit. Clear golden brown. Translucent white foamy head recedes to the rim. Flava mirrors aroma. Sweet juice and caramel. A sour citrus edge. Underlying malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat-soft carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Nice enough. Not too sweet so sessionable.
