Cask handpull at The Hope Carshalton. Hazy gold colour lasting white head. Wow that's like hops on speed. Lots of peach lots of stone fruit. Some dryness on the finish. Big hop flavour.

Cask at Tapping the Admiral, Kentish Town. Yes, a cask Cold IPA! Clear light gold. Thinnest foamy white head nevertheless has very healthy lacing. Aroma is yeastie with a tart edge. Flavourwise it's tart and herbal. Underlying sweet hints are almost drowned out. Light-medium bodied. Thin. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Most intense Cold IPA of all time. Old school cask focused brewery getting it wrong. More like a Westie?!
