2015 version at the Hop Bunker, Cardiff, 17/9/2015. Golden in colour with a frothy, off-white, head. Aromas of pineapple and mango with a touch of grassy hop. Flavour was sweet, with more sticky fruit and a hint of caramel, leading to a dryish finish. Fine.

Cask stillage at the Birmingham CAMRA festival 2014. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a bubbly white head. The aroma is nettle hop. The flavour is strong bitter with a big crisp refreshing nettle hop bitter palate. Light bodied with soft carbonation. I hope they retrieved the hop bucket that clearly fell into the the mash!
