Cask handpull at Market Porter. Gold, lasting ivory head. Some odd toffee and then very hoppy finish. An odd beer. The lightness of a golden ale, the toffee of a premium bitter and the hops of an IPA. Bizarre.

Gravity cask at White Horse, Hedgerley, England on 31st Aug 2009 during their summer festival. Gold ith thin white head of froth. Fruity aroma with some earthy yeasty pungencies, followed by exquisite, grassy herby hop/hemp notes plus the slight undertone of cheese (cheddar). A delicious, greatly satisfying dry hoppy finish. A superb IPA.

(bottle) Clear, dark mahogany colour with a beige mid-sized foamy head. Sweet roast-malty aroma with dark chocolate, coffee, leather, vanilla and subtle fruity notes. Light to moderately burnt bitter flavour with a balancing and slightly sugary malty sweetness, light to medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Solid roast-malty base with rather dry mouthfeel and mostly burnt flavours; roasty bitter and subtle fruity finish (11.VIII.09).
