Juicy session pale. Excellent balance. Clean. Easy. Lots of soft malts and a fruit punch.

Craft 100 at Craft Clapham. Cask. Lightly hazy gold beer, a few pale cream colour bubbles. Palate is light, semi dry and really crisp for a cask beer. Nice! Thin pale malts, mildly sweet. Good hop spice with lesser amounts of pine and skunk. Modest citrus well buried. Light semi dry finish. Nice stuff.

Draft at Craft100 April 2016 - Craft Beer Co Clapham, London. Cheers, guys! Pours clear yellow with a white froth topping. The nose holds crispy grains, hay. Light sweet flavour with dry pale bread, light biscuits, a little bitter grass and lemon rind. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with moderate husky bitterness and biscuity sweetness. Not bad.

Cask gravity at Craft 100. It pours golden yellow with a decent white head. The aroma is fairly tame.... grassy, pissy, apricot, dull peach and bread. The taste is bitter, earthy, straw, resin, grass, floral, dull pine, grapefruit and peppery spice with a dry, lingering finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Lingering bitterness. Not hugely expressive. Fair.

Cask @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Golden with a small head. It’s hoppy with a small fruity nose but a malt-hop bitterness in taste. Medium-high body.
