(Cask at Southampton Arms, Gospel Oak, London, 20 April 2017) Golden colour with foamy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with tropical fruit, citrus, pineapple and grapefruit. Hoppy, malty taste with notes of biscuits, citrus, tropical fruit, grapefruit, resin and a dry finish with a balanced citric bitterness. Light body, quite dry. Tasty and refreshing. Nice one.

Cask at CBC, Clerkenwell on 12th April 2017. Gold with shallow lacing foam. Intensely hoppy aroma. Both grassy and citric in-mouth, with a savoury touch. Resounding hoppiness in the finish. Zingy mouthfeel and a fair amount of body. Absolutely superb!

Cask half-pint on 2nd Dec 2016: The Crown Inn, Oakengates. Delta is a new hop to me (I think), so I looked it up before writing this, just to see if my notes picked up the characteristics of the hops profile: I did not do badly! Light golden body, full white head. Aroma and taste were slightly citrusy and spicy in nature. Body wise a bit ’thin’ but flavour wise it was fine. I assume it is a single hop brew, but I can find no information on the brewery’s website to confirm this.

Craft 100. Clapham. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, no head. Smooth palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth light malts, midly sweet. Floral tangerine and a touch of tropical fruits, mild mango just about discernable. Light semi dry finish. Pretty tasty but curiously Sorachi light.
