Handpull cask at the Clapton Hart, Clapton. At 4.2%. Golden and clear, slightly on the light side. Smallish white head with loads of soapy lacing. Harsh citrus in the aroma, hay, woody notes, some astringency.taste has a nice bitterness to it, with intensely bitter hops in the finish. Nice full texture for the style and ABV. Decent enough carbonation. Not as exciting as their session beer but holds its own well enough.

Cask at The Very Last London Drinker Beer & Cider Festival. Pours golden with a lasting bubbly off-white head. Aroma of golden syrup, nut, malt, flowers, light orange and herb with a hint of ginger biscuit. Medium plus sweetness, light but developing bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Unusual. Grower.

Half pint, cask at Westow House Crystal Palace. Bright golden-brown body. Bubbly ring to the rim of the surface. Herbal hoppy aroma with notes of malty sweetness. Bread and caramel to the taste profile. Ends with a touch of semi-sweet earthy malts. Pretty nice (28.11.2015).
