Cask gravity at Reading BF 08. Biscuit bread aroma. Not the greatest IPA, decent hop and well put together. Finish is great, very chinooky, but overall pretty restrained.

[i] [b] Cask at the Turf Tavern, Oxford, 01-06-08 [/i] [/b] Pours golden with white rim of bubbles, the aroma is like a slightly damp towel but to be fair there was some sweetness there as well. Taste is pleasant enough nice honey sweetness floods through, some bitterness, quite clean tasting and finishes with some hops and a slight dryness and almost a lagery character at the end.

[i] [b] Cask at Reading Beer Festival 02-05-08 following a two hour queue to get in grrrr![/i] [/b]Pours golden hazy orangey amber in colour. This starts off with a nice tangy and hoppy thrust, this hoppiness softens quite quickly and there is lazy citrussness that takes over, the finish is really quite dry and it has to be said that this beer really is quite lovely.

(Cask at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London, 25 April 2008) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Roasted, malty nose with notes of liquorice and freshly ground, heavily roasted coffee. Malty, roasted taste with fresh coffee, dark fruit, ashes, prunes, liquorice and a hint of smoke. Nice coffee bitterness in the finish. Rather dry for a porter. Medium body. This really is an excellent porter! More of this please.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 17/4/08. Golden coloured with a decent white head that left plenty of lacing down the glass. Attractive grapefruit and pine hop aroma with a touch of sweet malt. The flavour was also hoppy with some more resinous pine which left an almost prickly mouth feel and a long, satisfying dry finish. Excellent.

Bottle. Citrus tones, clean refreshing taste, with some bitterness on the finish. Enjoyable and deserves extra marks for the good cause.

Half of this best bitter on gravity at London Drinker BF 08, afternoon session. Pale amber body with a filmy layer and fragile lacing on the glass. Malty-hoppy aroma. In-depth flavour of hop resin and lingering bitterness to the finish. Medium mouthfeel (12.03.2008).

Cask handpull at London Drinker BF 08. Gold, lasting off white head. Looks in good condition, yeast and citrus hop aroma, grassy. First beer of the day and a pretty good one. Biscuity malt, some farty yeast character, excellent condition and zippy. Rather pleasant, easy drinking. Hop zing has elderflower flavour.
