Cask at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green - 30/11/12. Lightly hazed golden with a thin bubbly white head. Good lacing ensues. Nose is hops, pale malt, caramel notes, light floral tones. Taste comprises floral hops, citrus, touch of pine, orange. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, bitter finish. A more than decent cask offering.

Aroma: Dry hoppy smell. Slightly floral. Not too powerful.
Appearance: Clear, golden body. with a dense, lasting white head. No carbonation. Lots of sticky lacing.
Taste: Hops, hops and more hops. The initial sweetness is replaced with a lovely, lingering bitterness. Flavours of caramel and pine. There’s not a great depth to the flavour, but this is still a tasty beer. Light and moreish.
Palate: Smooth mouthfeel. Flat carbonation. Very dry.
Overall: A very hoppy, easy drinking ale. This is the first beer I’ve had by Great Heck - on this evidence, it won’t be the last.

Cask handpull at Greyhound Derby. Clear gold no head. Some plastic to the hop but rest of the beer is ok. Tasty enough and a darn sight better than the Derby beer before it.
