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-conditioned at the Kent Beeriodical, Seven Stars, Bristol February 2012. Ruddy brown in colour with a decent, off-white head. Sweetish, earthy malt aroma with some berry fruits and grassy hops. Flavour was similar with a decent, bitter finish. Good.

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.

Cask at CP&K. It pours straw yellow, with a foamy off-white head. The nose is honey, pear, wood, resin and some farmyard. The taste is straw, hay, resin, touch of honey, pine and warm, spicy hop, with a massive bitter finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Flavoursome and bold bitterness.

Cask@Southampton Arms, London. Black colour, small off-white head. Aroma is fruity, caramelly, mildly dark fruity and ashy. The flavour is similar. Actually a rather mellow brew where the rich hopping actually fits the ashes and mild roasted malty notes quite well.
