500ml bottle from Hand Drawn Monkey, Huddersfield. Massive bitter bomb on first sip, which actually quells throughout the glass to allow the citrus and tropical colours to come through. By the end the huge bitterness has subsided and a nice fruity bittersweet character comes through. Quite nice, if a little unbalanced in that respect.

Cask @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. A mid to deeper yellow with a small head. Has a hop-malt aroma and taste, but more of the former than latter.

Sampled at GBBF 2013, London - Day 2. Pours clear gold with a light, white cream head. Nice pissy hop nose with hints of lemon. Medium sweet flavor with moderately sugary citrus, pee, simple pale malts. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Faint hoppy resins to finish with further cat pee, lemon and lightly spicy anise. Good IPA.

Another old rating from the Stockbridge Tap. Appearance - golden with a decent head. Nose - sharp grapefruit plus pith. Taste - more pithy grapefruit with a little pale malt in the background. Palate - light to medium bodied, fairly creamy but far too sharp for me on the finish. Overall - interesting but perhaps one for the extremaphiles.

Cask at the Milton Keynes Beer Festival 2013. Poured a dark ruby with a thin, rocky beige head. Aroma of coffee, peat and burnt sugar. Mouth feel was disappointingly watery. Flavours of stale coffee and roast malt. Finish was slightly nicer with bitter burnt notes, hop resin and a light metallic edge.
