Wetherspoon Spring Beer Festival 2019. Cask @ Waterhouse, Manchester. Clear golden with a creamy head. Has a small fruity spiciness which makes this a very dirty-hoppy ale.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW) Bristol, March 2019. Golden in colour, with a thin, white, head. Floral hop character, rich tea malts, citrus fruits and a dryish finish. Enjoyable.

On cask at the Standing Order. Appearance - golden with a thin head. Nose - blood orange going into pink grapefruit. Taste - yeah, more of that blood orange. Light resin. Palate - light to medium bodied with a zesty middle and end. Overall - lovely.

Cask at the Standing Order. Pours clear golden with no head. Aromas of light citrus, light grassy hops, light caramel. Taste is more of the same. Why travel all this way to make something so standard?

Cask handpull at Hamilton Hall Spoons. Clear gold colour lasting white head. Yes quite a fresh hoppy hop flower flavoured beer. Possibly the best today. Decent condition and temperature. Some bitterness on finish. Good hoppy flavour. Decent.

Pours a clear deep golden colour with a small near white head. Aroma is fresh and fruity, peach and grapefruit with some floral hop notes. A moderately sweet malt taste, a grapefruit and peach with a light bitterness and a drying finish.
