Cask at The White Horse (Exchange Square), London. Pours light hazy gold with a fine, white foam head. Nice nose, some grapefruit. Tangy flavor with tangy citrus, grapefruit, some berries. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Tangy finish - this beer seems a bit off - with some melon, grapefruit and mild, grassy bitterness. This beer is definitely out of shape; and too bad, as there seems to be some nice character here.

On tap at the Rake. Clear gold beer, tiny white head. Palate is semi dry and a little soft. Very fine carbonation. Nice bright orange hops with a touch of tinned fruit syrup. Lesser notes of apricot, mango and a trace of lemon. Mild fresh hop sting. There is an overall sweetness to this IPA but nothing overtly honey. Finishes slightly astringent with some spice kicking in. Honey IPAs eh? Interesting! More please!
