Cask @ The Abbey. Pours a generally clear gold, good white head. Big hoppy aroma, bright citrus. Taste is similarly hoppy, perhaps the hoppiest Oakham beer I've had thus far, bit sticky grapefruit, orange citrus, pine hints. Excellent cask IPA.

Gravicask at the 23rd St Albans Beer & Cider Festival. Near-clear golden body. Filmy layer, spotty lacing. Ripe fruity nose, hints of grapefruits. Mixed fruit hoppy taste of pineapple and grapefruit, backbone of bread. Fresh fruity bitterness to the ending. Likable. (Shared with Finn, 27.09.2018).

Cask at the Royal Standard, Wooburn Common. A bright pale amber pour with a loose white head; grainy aroma; bitter herbal taste with a syrupy fruity grainy body; then some resin and a pleasant herbal finish reminding me of freshly cut nettles. Very good.

Full pour at Craft Beer, Islington, October, 2016. Cask. Dry, grassy hops. Good palate, the beer is in fine condition. Dry malt flavor and mildly bitter hops, definitely an English style ipa, flavor is not as strong as what I am used to. Brown color.
