Pigs Ear Day 1. Cask. Hazy Amber beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry. Light malts, some caramel. Big hops, resinous orange, some hop spice. Citric peel. Juicy tropical fruits. More hop spice on the semi dry finish. Very nicely done.

Cask Gravity at Pig’s Ear 2015. It pours hazy golden-amber with a bubbly white head. The nose is soft, sweet, juicy, sticky, oily, peach, nectarine, brioche and resin. The taste is bitter-sweet, resinous, spicy, leather, quite oily, plenty of stewed orange, nectarine, decent malty backbone and good lick of alcohol warmth through the finish. Medium body, soft carbonation and slightly chewy mouth-feel. All-round rather nice. A bit of a surprise after having a few boring low-boost-goldes.

Bottle from Saucy Pears Bottle Shop, Worcester, Saturday 5th December consumed at home Sunday 6th December 2015. Pours deep amber, hazy with a sticky off white head. On the nose there is lots of pine resin but with some lovely sweet tropical fruits, some maltiness also. This is utterly stupendous, a full on hoppy assault but great bittersweet balance, dry, a touch furry, lovely bitterness, smooth restrained but ever present, gums and tongue get a nice steady workout. Big American style malty punch, citrus, pine resin, citrus and a pithiness builds, nice carbonation. For a county more known for great ciders and perries this is one heck of a beer and amongst my favourite beers of the year, it’s brilliant. Loz said she was convinced that this was a top American big hop monster. A8 A4 T9 P5 Ov14 4.4

Cask at Pigs Ear 2015, day 1 - London. Pours clear gold with a frothy, off-white head. Rich hop aroma, lots of papaya, melon and mango. Medium sweet flavor, nicely resinous, with fresh and lightly raw hop character, more mango, some peach, orange, melon. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Resinous and lightly warming in the ending, with more fresh and juicy hops, citrus, some tropical aspects. Very, very good. Great stuff.
