Hand-pulled half-pint in Ye Olde Fighting Cocks, Oakengates on Sunday 4th February 2024. Golden body, white crown that stayed the distance. Good hoppy aroma and taste, oozes flavour (stone fruits, citrus notes and a white wine hint), liked it. The ABV sits nicely too.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours a golden amber with minimal off-white head. The aroma is mainly tangerines, with some hints of floral hops. In the mouth there is a brief burst of sweetness before it quickly becomes quite bitter. Floral hops and marmalade to the fore in the flavour, plus hints of spices and alcoholic strength. Finish is hoppy with a little stickiness. This is nice – a good old school IPA.
