Bottle at level 42, cheers! It pours clear rich gold with a thick white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, nectarine, peach, apricot, brioche, grapefruit and fruitcake. The taste is dry, quite harsh bitterness, big grapefruit character, resin, pine, booze, soap and solvent. Medium body and fine carabontion. I found this one pretty rough around the edges. Fair at best.

Cask at Ealing beer festival 2016, Ealing, London. A hazy golden/amber coloured pour with a healthy white head on top. Rich hoppy, tropical fruit, orange aroma. Tastes similar, rich, hoppy, tropical fruit, mango, pineapple, slightly sweet and heavy. I’m not a big fan of Twickenham but this was very nice indeed, would like to see this one again.
