Gravity cask at the White Horse, Hedgerley on 31st August 2009. Amber with small off white bubbly head. Excellently hoppy with bitter hempy grassy notes to the fore. A long dry finish on slightly zingy mouthfeel, with a little astringency. A delicious and rewarding IPA.

Cask (handpump) @ Bankers Draft, Sheffield, England. @ [ RBESG 09 ]. Golden/amber color with a creamy lasting head. Sweet malty aroma with lots of ginger. Ginger flavor with some hoppy notes. Better than some gingers i had on the trip but still not my thing.

Cask, gravity at the White Horse, Hedgerley, Bucks 08-08-09 on leg seven of the Thames Tipple Pours clear warm golden with a white loose bubbly head. There is a touch of malt and some biscuit crumbs on the nose and a whiff of the hops that were to come. This is a fruity number with great hoppy flavours, the bitterness lingers and coats the roof of the mouth. Good stuff. A6 A4 F7 P4 Ov14 3.5
