Cask at the Bell, Waltham St Lawrence. Bright amber with a thin cream head; gentle oaty grain aroma; rich grainy body with a strong woody bitterness; giving a smooth and lasting finish. A substantial, satisfying beer.

On tap: resiny hop-forward nose. Very fruity hop-driven double IPA. The fruitiness is intriguing and unusual and the balance is admirable.

Cask at the Bell, Waltham St Lawrence. Straw with a loose white head; woody, malty aroma; full-on, fresh, fruity hop taste, clean, crisp and very moreish; followed by a long grapefruit bitterness. Excellent, I could drink this all day.

Keg at the Lyric, Soho, 08/05/15. Clear golden copper with an off White covering. Nose is bitter orange, caramel malt, sweet tunes, ripe melon, toasted bread. Taste comprises bitter orange, sweet licks, caramel, candied fruit peel. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. Masks the 10% ABV well but ultimately lacks direction and hop presence. Towards the bottom rungs of the UK DIPA ladder!

Cask at Westow House. It pours black with a decent beige head. The nose is is sweet, creamy, milk chocolate, fudge and light toast. The taste is smooth, bitter-sweet, milk chocolate, soft roast, toasty, dark fruits and icing sugar with a smooth finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Does what it says on the tin/pump clip. Smooth and drinkable, if a touch sweet.

Cask at The Shoulder of Mutton, Wantage, Oxon, Tuesday 28th April 2015 Reddy amber with lacy head. Fruity nose and also fruity in the mouth with the Sorachi and Mosaic working well in tandem here, the finish is quite dry. I had this earlier in the evening with Peter, later on Gazza and Jay (Hopcraft) joined us, they felt it was more orange in appearance, but I am sticking with my reddy amber view. It is a very decent beer a little bit of summer fruitiness, tangy, really pleasant. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.5

Cask @ Grey Friar, Preston. Dark chestnut-red with a creamy head. Light tasting with an easy drinking texture, there’s some sweetened pale malts in its nose and some in its taste too. Has a light bitterness.

3.9% black ipa. Cask at the Greyfriar Preston. Pours dark brown with a thin tan head. Aromas of cheesy hops, woody pine. Taste is more solid pine notes, cheesy hop finish. Most interesting beer in a spoons for some time.
