(Cask at Southampton Arms, Gospel Oak, London, 20 Nov 2025) Golden colour with frothy, off-white head. Hoppy, fruity nose with citrus, grapefruit, resin and pine needles. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, grapefruit, peaches, resin, tropical fruit, some toffee and a generous citric/resiny bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Lots of Simcoe character here. Fresh and hoppy. Very nice.

Foamy off white head stayed on a cloudy dull golden coloured body. Exotic fruit, nectarine & candy aroma. Medium to full bodied, smooth with a foamy clean back. Sweet candy, melon, peach & exotic fruits tastes with a tangy hopped finish. Excellent.

Bottle. High Peak Wine and Beer Castleton. Had this a week ago but didn’t rate it. This is different in that it’s a bit oxidised. Looks grubby and is very sweet overall. Shame because I really enjoyed it first time round.
