(Cask at Wenlock Arms, London, 6 Aug 2010) Amber colour with frothy, beige head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of apricots, orange, biscuity malt and dusty hops. Malty, slightly fruity taste with biscuity malt, apricots, a touch of orange and a generous earthy bitterness in a dry finish. Rather light body, mainly dry. Quite nice and tasty.

[Cask at the Nag’s Head, Reading] Light amber. Very hoppy and bitter from the off, with some sweet citrus behind. In fact, the more I drink, the more I think it’s possibly the bitterest UK session ale I’ve ever tried. Now, normally I don’t think high hop rates work with UK-style ales, but Two Bridges seem to have cracked it - this is refreshing and very more-ish indeed. Another great offering from this fledgling brewery - I’d like to see them try a full-strength IPA though.
