Cask at CASK. It pours golden amber with a small white head. The nose is pine, light floral, citrus, hay and toasted grass. The taste is pine, floral, grass, straw, pithy citrus, white grape, touch of alcohol and potpourri with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body, soft carbonation and slightly sticky mouth-feel. Decent enough.

Cask at Euston Tap, London. A golden/amber coloured pour with a thin white head on top. Hoppy, citrus fruit aroma. Tastes hoppy, bitter, dry, slight tropical fruit. Decent IPA from Cornwall.

13th May 2013 Euston Tap. Keg. Hazy amber beer, little white head. Palate is soft but minerally carbonation asserts on the back end, a fraction too assertive. Mild creamy malt with a touch of raw grain. Nice fresh orange and orange peel hops. Unusual whisper of bubblegum ester. Finishes crisp and semi dry. Had to agitate some carbonation out of this one but a nice beer. 3.6

Euston Tap. Keg. Hazy amber beer, good white head. Smooth palate, slightly soft, good fine minerally carbonation. Soft malts, a little creamy. Wonderfully peachy and tropical fruit hops, starting sweetish but developing a mildly bitter orange and grapefruit peel. Light floralness. Finishes with more malty creamy sweetness. A cracker!

Cask at the Euston Tap - London. Pours murky gold with lots of material floating in suspension - maybe yeast - and a tight, creamy white cap. Aroma holds lots of doughy white bread, perhaps some ripe citrus. Medium to big sweet flavor, some sticky citrusy hops, hints of grass and pine needles, biscuits. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet, sticky finish, lots of resinous hops, some grapefruit, grass, papaya. Sime light mineral dryness. The beer looks pretty dire but the rest of the journey goes alright.
