Craft islington. Cask. Clear amber beer, tidy white head. Palate is smooth and dry with mild fine carbonation. Interesting blend of citric hops and bitterish gin, there is a little herby like quinine here as well but I don’t think there is any tonic in here! Touch of dry fruity lychee and lesser generic fruits. Dry finish with some medium bitter linger. Tasty and original but I think this would have been better suited to Keg.

Cask at Craft Beer Co, Islington, London. An amber coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Sweet, fruity, gin aroma. Tastes sweet, tropical fruit, oranges, definite hint of gin in there. Nice one.

Cask at CBC, Islington. It pours amber with a medium white head. The nose is earthy, light toast, gin, peppery juniper, grape, lychee, greengage and lime. The taste is earth, juniper, gin, lychee, white grape, nice level of bitterness, spice and resin with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Interesting and rather well executed. Nice.

Cask at CBC Islington during the Siren event. Pours clear gold with a fine, creamy head. Ripening citrus on the nose, light pine. Medium sweet flavor with some dank , grass, lime, orange, faint spicy gin. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Good condition. Moderately resinous to finish, some orange and tangerine, a bit of dried pine. Good one.
