The usual dose of Cascade hops supplemented by orange-y Santiam this year. Pale brown, crisp and delicious at 4.2% abv.

Cask-conditioned at the Annexe, Bristol 21/02/2012. Amber coloured with a slight white head. Decent, citrus hop aroma with some biscuity malts. Flavour had lots more fruit, solid malts and a lingering, bitter finish. Very good.

Cask at The Wharf. It’s a clear dark golden beer with a small, white head. Citrusy aroma, a good dash of oranges, and a grassy touch. Not much malts. The flavor is a bit dull, biscuity malts and some grassy and citrusy hops not giving much bitterness. Medium body, smooth. A boring one that doesn’t taste bad in any way. 110320

From cask at Charlies. Pours cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is fruity, mild peachy and grapefruity. Solid bitter flavoured, distinct grapefruity hops. Mild fruity sweet impression. Lingering bitter and sweet fruity finish.

Cask at the Market Porter. Pours rich gold with a foamy, white head. Crispy malts on the nose with straw and lemon hops. Medium sweet with dried cereal, grass, tangy citrus. Light bodided with fine carbonation. Has a crisp, sem-dry finish, lightly sticky, with faint honey and crackers. Great, lip-smacking beer.

Cask at Cask Pub & Kitchen on 6th March 2010. Orange to gold with small, lasting white lacing head. Rich and tangy hoppiness with some citric notes and just a touch of saltiness. Finish is bitter and mouthfeel is zingy and a little saline.

Cask handpull at the Old Fountain, Old Street. Beautifully hoppy citrus and hoppy sherberty aroma. Good fullness in mouth, excellent condition. That is lovely, good peach/apricot fruit. Excellent.
