On cask at the Stockbridge Tap. Appearance - golden with a decent head. Nose - grass, lemon and herbal. Taste - like it smells. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - solid if unexciting. Doesn’t taste like it’s close to 6%.

On tap at The Old Red Cow, Farringdon, London. Pours dark amber with a moderate sized white head. Aroma is very well hopped, with grapefruit and tropical fruit notes. Moderate sweetness, good level of bitterness, not overdone. Medium body, slight oily texture, average carbonation. Good one.

Hazy deep golden colour, tall foamy off-white to beige head, good retention and lacing. Aroma pale malts, citrus, pine, floral notes. Smooth mouthfeel, flavour medium sweet and bitter, malty, orange, tangerine. Dry bittersweet finish, bit earthy, bitterness lingers on. Very fresh and crisp IPA with a nice fruity touch.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from Beermerchants. Pours clear gold with a floppy white head. Crackery pale malts in the nose, a bit of marmalade. Medium sweet flavor with touches of toffee, more marmalade, grassy bitterness, graham crackers, orange. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes lightly sticky-sweet, with more crackers, pale bread, grass, earth. OK overall, but perhaps not as fresh as it could be.

Clear gold beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is smooth and fairly dry with trailing fine carbonation. Semi sweet malts, a little grain and a little cream. Hops are fairly bitter with mild floralness and mild orange peel. A little citric zip. Finishes smooth with a long bitter linger. Well balanced.
