Keg at Hop Locker 1 - London. Pours hazy gold with a creamy, white head. The nose holds rindy citrus, orange, tangerine. Light sweet flavour with moderate dry pale bread, soft piney bitterness, restrained citrus fruits. Light bodied with massaging carbonation. Good balance to finish, with more rindy citrus, supportive pae bread, a little pine. Solid.

Cask at the Waterloo Tap, 12/05/17. Clear golden with a decent white cap that retains well. Nose is melon, tangerine, floral whisper, soft bread. Taste comprises melon, peach, tangerine, bread dough, straw, lemon rind. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced hop implode. Decent enough cask hopster.

Cask at Waterloo Tap. A brisk walk over the Thames may have resulted in my own body odours drowning out the aroma... I got feint hay. Bright gold. Thick creamy head. A light but fragrant bitter. Grapefruit and herbs. Light-medium bodied. Watery and creamy = milky? Light carbonation. Abrupt finish. So it hay have been the walk but found it super refreshing. A delicate APA.
