Handpull cask at the White Hart, Loughborough. Brownish gold, clear with a bit of head. Peaches, biscuit, grapefruit, slight sweaty note. Sweet and almost flowery taste at first, then turns bitter with the increase in hop intensity. Light sourness on the finish. Ripe tangerine in the aftertaste. A well-executed pale ale.

Cask, half shared with Finn during a mini beer festival at Furnace Inn. Bubbly white head over a bright golden body. Spotty lacing. Peaches and pineapple nose. Taste of fruity hops including ripe citrus and pineapple. Oily hops to the ending. Fine drinkability. Pleasing (Derby 18.02,2016),

Cask gravity at Merton Winter BF 2016. Clear gold lasting white head. Diacetyl aroma lots of butter. Better in the mouth but Diacetyl all way ruins it. Some ok citrus hop on the finish. Decent condition . Shame about the Diacetyl.
