Cask, gravity dispense at Oxford Beer Festival, Oxford Town Hall, Thursday 16th October 2014 me and Loz in the company of Grace & Ian I know that I am particularly fond of XT and the Animal series but this was a corker. I love how the English hops really shine here, there is a little toffee to start with but then it’s lots of marmaladey citrus flavours and a good hoppiness throughout. Soft in mouth with a white sticky head, orange/Amber in colour, good clarity. Excellent stuff, hats off to Russ and Gareth and the team for showcasing a pure English beer in such a way, intrigued though as to why it’s called Zebra? A7A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

V284 c5 Cask, from brewer’s own stall at the Thame Food Festival. Light and slightly murky amber. Strong taste of sweet caramel clashes somewhat with a heavy bitterness. it’s lifted by some apricot in the finish but it’s not one of XT’s finer moments. Still quite drinkable though.
