Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 24/10/2011. deep amber in colour with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of tropical fruit, caramel and pine. Flavour began with some sweet malts, before more fruit, some green herbs and a dry finish. Enjoyable.

Cask at CPK, London. Pours clear russet with a fluffy, off-white head. Big grassy hop aroma. Light to medium sweet flavor, some toast, light caramel, abrasive grass bitterness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Fairly dry finish, faint caramel, grass, dry pine. A bit too heavy on the grass. Too raw, actually.

Cask at The Craft Beer Co., London. Pours clear gold with a bubbly, white head. Has a rather mild nose, but flavor is huge, raw hops. Tons of bitterness from dandelion and grass and flowers. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Mild sweetness to finish, tons of lingering, raw and savage hops. Just a bit too much raw and grassy hops. Needs a bit more sugar in here. Became drinkable after a few sips after my tongue had become thoroughly violated and just stopped putting up a fight. Overall just OK.

Cask at the Evening Star, Brighton on 27th August 2011. Amber to gold with thin film head and skeletal lacing. Yeasty aroma. Hoppy liquid with grassy notes and the sharpest of grapefruit tangs. This strong citric note carries to finish where it lingers as the main feature. Slightly smoky wash over these flavours.

Cask at CPK, London. Clear, yellow-gold pour with a slight, white film for a head. Biscuity, doughy and slightly corny character. Mild butter notes. Some diacetyl it would seem. OK beer overall, despite that hiccup.
