Hand-pulled pint in The Old Fighting Cocks, Oakengates on 6th Dec 13. Golden body with a full white head that gave some impressive lacing. The aroma held a hop front with a secondary helping of mild malts. Taste began with a mixed bag of citrus fruits, both sour and sweet (as in grapefruit and oranges): a maltier feel arrived mid-sip and legged it again before a mildly bitter finish.

(Cask at Union Tavern, Westbourne Park, London, 22 Nov 2013) Amber colour with brief, frothy, beige head. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus, apricots and resin. Malty, fruity taste with notes of citrus, grapefruit, orange peel and a generous resinous bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and quite hoppy. Nice one.

Cask at Wandsworth London Beer Festival on 6 July 2013. Poured a dark golden colour with a thin white head (stillage). Grassy hop nose, with some grainy malts hiding in the background. Great bitterness on the flavour, citrus and grapefruit with some cereal sweetness which balanced it nicely leaving a very pleasant aftertaste.

Medium sweet flavor with thick, reainous pine, ripe orange, mild grass. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sticky, resinous finish, lots of juicy pine and citrus, supporting malty sweetness, some bitter earthy pine. Quite a dank APA - I like it.
