Keg @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Cloudy amber with a very thin head. Has a dry spiciness, most evident in its lingering and dry aftertaste. Is slightly sour with tropical fruits in both aroma and taste.

Cask at the Hanging Bat. It pours cloudy orange-amber with a nice off-white head. The nose is juicy tropical fruits, passion fruit, mango, sweet dough, candied peel and mild spice. The taste is bitter-sweet, orange, peppery grapefruit, toasted sugars, oily hops and pine with bitter, woody finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Works surprisingly well on cask. Bitter, fruity and balanced. Another winner from Pilot.

Cask at The Guildford. Pours clear pale gold, thin white head. Big grapefruit and pine aromas. Bitter taste. Long, dry, bitter finish. Enjoyable, and nice to see a cask US-style IPA that works so well.
