Cask, gravity at XT Brewery Open day, Saturday 30th November 2013 Warm gold, slight haze, buzzy bitterness, bubbly white head. At once this is crisp green fresh hops but with a persistent buzz, bit like a more gentle Ruination. Fruity, blisteringly hoppy, marvellous. Despite the hoppy onslaught this is actually dangerously drinkable. Big citrussy punch with grapefruit prominent, we’ve missed out on this beer before, so really glad we got to try it today.

Cask gravity at The Firkin Ale House 1st birthday. Hazy gold lasting white head. Grapefruit earthy aroma some pine and resin but mostly fresh yellow grapefruit and a certain earthiness. Good solid apa. Some hop on finish. Some bitterness 3.6/5 re rate even better big grapefruit. Fresh from being tapped. Just my kind of beer.

Hand pump at Chesterfield Ale House - Nice golden look to this one, thin white head. Nose of tropicals, picked out mango and guava, with a taste that builds on this. Robust syrupy mouthfeel, with a good bitter finish. Best XT I’ve had.

Cask at The Land of Liberty in Chorleywood, Hertfordshire on 14 July 2013. Clear light amber pour with white head. Sweet tropical fruit aroma with hints of candy sugar and some citrus hop. Initial hop bitterness is offset by sweet mango and butterscotch flavours.

Cask at the Bell, Waltham St Lawrence. Amber with a thin white head; rich tropical fruit aroma with passion fruit and mango; thick and oily in the mouth with lots more tropical fruit - kiwi and pineapple this time; and a sharp, very tart, new world hop bitterness leading to a grapefruit finish with some warming alcohol. Very satisfying.
