Very much alive in cask form @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Blonde in colour with a small creamy head. Has a dryish hop character that includes a fruitiness but more of a bitterness.

[i] Cask at Oxford Beer Festival 11-10-07 [/i] Poured a real pale golden colour, in fact a very light colour. Aroma was surprisingly sulphurous in fact really quite eggy indeed. There was a real flurry of hops initially the bitterness didn’t show immediately, rather like the dog lying in wait for the postman it bit when you thought you were home and dry and had got to the gate, the resulting bitter bite then hung around for a while. This was a very good beer but not quite what I expected.

Cask at Oakham Brewery Tap, Peterborough. Don’t know if I like this as much as normal JHB. If I want a stronger beer with the same flavours, I would normally go for the Bishops Farewell. However still very good, zingy zesty tangerine grapefruit flavour.
