Keg at the Beerhouse, Bury St Edmunds. Deep golden with some carbonation and a ring of white head. Pineapple and grapefruit sit alongside a light resinous character in the aroma, but it’s far from ’bursting with hops’. It’s like drinking a proper APA with a light cold: you get some of the aroma but it’s muted. Taste is the same. Bittersweet and threatening to be flavourful but it never really gets there. Sounds like I’m being harsh in the rate, but I actually like this a lot. The balance and flavour is spot on but I want more, more, more. I’m all for the ’British reserve’ in a cask bitter or mild, but with an APA you just gotta go for it.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 2017. Clear gold lasting white head. Some citrus hop on the aroma a little thin in the mouth. Bitter finish. It’s ok not exciting. Not much malt or yeast just bitter hops with some citrus flavours.

On keg at Teign Cellars, shared with Finn. Clear, warm golden body, naked surface, spotty lacing. Ripe citrus aroma. Taste of mild caramel, orange and lemon. Mid-dry fruity bitter endnotes. Satisfying (Newton Abbot, 27.09.2016).

Bottle on holiday in Lyme Regis. Clear gold beer, thin white head. Palate is light and pleasingly crisp. Light pale malts, touch off sweetness. Hops bring a delightful medley of passion fruit, grapefruit, orange and light mango.Touch of candy fruits befoire a dry and lightly bitter finish. Delightful!

Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 10/10/2015. Golden with a slight, white, head. Aroma of citrus fruits, leafy hops and a hint of juicy sweetness. Flavour had more fruit, slightly biscuity malts and a moderately bitter finish. Good.
