Cask at Craft 100 - CBC Clapham, London. Pours lightly hazy gold with a foamy white head. The nose is all minerals and ripening orange. Light to medium sweet flavor with heavy dry and smoky mineral character, some bitter lemon rind. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Astringent dry mineral finish with notes of smoke and citrus rind. Rough.

Craft 100 at Craft Clapham. Cask. Hazy deep gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and semi dry. Mild fine carbonation. Light airy malts. Hops start with light marmalade and a little floralnes, then POW! Big bitterness, bordering on harsh. Light finish. Long bitter linger. Yep - bitter bastard!

Cask at craft 100 Craft Beer Co. Clouded dull orange coloured pour with loose white head, fleeting. Aroma is sharp lemon grassy hop, some acid. Flavour is grasyy, grapefruit hop, grainy, some spicy hop lingering. A bit harsh and rough round the edges. Medium bodied, slight resin and grainy on the tongue.

Cask at Craft 100. It pours hazy gold with a small white head. The nose is fresh, juicy, orange, marmalade, tangerine and passion fruit. The taste is sweet, oily, syrupy, orange, tangerine.... then big raw bitterness, resin, raw grassy and straw with a lingering dry-bitterness. Medium body and fine carbonation. Slightly sticky. Jekyll & Hyde beer. Entices you with sweetness then hits you with a bitter hammer. Nice work.

Keg. Leeds IBF. Hazy gold. Bubbly, white head. Very jammy. Grapefruit. Taste is dry, and crunchy bitter. Lots of pithy zest. More of that at the finish. Tasty gear.

Cask @ Trades Club, Hebden Bridge. Amber with a touch of copper and a creamy head. Has a light fruity aroma and quite a soured taste in this respect. Some grapefruit but not overly tropical.
