Pint at The Archway Tavern where the Kinks staged a famous album cover photograph in 1971. Orange gold colour with a white head. The hop flavour is pine and dried orange peel. Moderate bitterness and medium mouthfeel. Not bad - a modern, craft beer version of an IPA served far too cold.

Cask at the Barrel Vault, St Pancras on 7th February 2026. Hazy amber with shallow off-white foam and spot lacing. Pungent fruity aroma. Citrus and fruity berries in-mouth and a bitter finish.smooth mouthfeel and plenty of body.

On tap at The Old Brewer. Amber with a small head. Sweetish with malt, citrus, mild floral notes and some butter. Not that bitter.
