This new light golden IPA carries a light hop haze and is bursting with tropical and citrus fruit flavours. These combine with the mellow bitterness and spicy backbone to deliver a full-flavoured, smooth character.

Cask at London & North Western, Birmingham. Clear gold with white head, modest lacing. Taste of pale malt, straw, peach, grapefruit, hint of herbs. Smooth, semi-dry, a bit low on the bitterness but as an easy drinking session cask it's decent.

Cask at Baxter's Court (JDW), Hackney before going on to see the superb Skating Polly at Oslo. Lightly hazed blonde colour with a white head. Nice fresh hop taste. Sweet lemon and apricots with some green leafiness set against a background of vanilla ice cream. Just enough bitterness to cut through. Decent; possibly the best I've had at this decidedly average fest.

Cask handpull at The County Hotel JDW Ashford. Slight haze gold colour lasting white head. Some Sheps yeast aroma. Decent in mouth .yes some decent hops. Just about the best pint of beer I've had from Sheps this year. Good hop sting on the finish. Really well made. Some stone fruit flavour touch of peach and apricot. Decent. Enjoyable.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A pale amber pour with a rim of white head; grainy aroma; light spicy malt taste with some toffee; and a dry finish with a herbal bitterness. Not particularly pleasant.
