Gravity cask at the Bree Louise, London. Pours a rich, clear orange-amber with a mild cream head. Great hop aroma, tons of fresh grapefruit and pine, along with minor bread notes. Flavor is dominated by the hops, with a pronounced bitterness consisting of orange, grapefruit, dirt and pine. There are light malt undertones. Medium to full in body with fine to average carbonation. The finish is resinous and bitter, with very faint caramel sweetness. Superb beer. I almost feel like Iโm back in the States.

Cask at the Harp, London. Pours a clear, light gold with a modest white head. Light malt aroma with sour fruit notes. More sourness in the flavor, along with subtle sweetness and some earthy bitterness. Light bodied with low carbonation. Has an odd, sweet and sour finish. This beer must have been off.

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 20th September 2010. Orangey-amber - almost Lucozade colour - and a thin white, partial lacing foam head. Yeasty aroma, touch of cheesiness and a few light hops in the main kick. Then citric and rather fruity. Citric theme maintained in a medium-length finish on a zingy mouthfeel.

Cask at the Old Cross Tavern, Hertford on 3 Sept 2010. Amber with a bubbly quick-collapse grey head and a small amount of lacing. Very fruity aroma of berries and grapefruit. Grass, grapefruit and subtle honey in-mouth, and a strong but rounded grapefruit finish. Zingy mouthfeel. Superb!
