Cask-conditioned at the Kent Beeriodical, the Seven Stars Bristol February 2012. Pale gold with a decent white head. Aroma of lemon fruit, slightly creamy malts and grassy hops. Flavour had more citrus fruit, a hint if sulphur and moderately bitter finish. Enjoyable.

Cask stillage at the Grape and Grain Spring Beer Festival 2012, Crystal Palace. Dark reddish-brown pour with a white head. Raisin, dark fruit and orchard fruit aroma. Blackcurrants, plum, raisins flavour with some light chocolate notes. Malty dark fruit aftertaste. These black IPA’s (whether a misnomer or not) are jolly tasty I must say!

Cask, gravity at Merton Winter Beer Festival, 17th & 18th February 2012 Gold in colour with white head, good clarity. Hoppy & bitter but not overly bitter, a little softness and with a nice seam of lemonyness throughout. This beer surprised a lot of folk and was a real hit, great session beer, possibly just a little sweet for me, but very likeable. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov15 3.7

Cask gravity at Green Berry Walmer. Clear pale gold with lasting white head. Looks good. Looks in good condition. Touch of yeast on aroma. Some citrus intense hop on aroma. Its a tasty strong blond ale. Good leafy hop on finish. Aroma has a little farmyard on the yeast. Hops on finish are good. Pretty good but I would rather have a touch more malt backbone. Hoppy as hell. Some sweet alcohol.
