Fra cask på The Harp, Covent Garden 24 Sep 14. Veldig lys gyldenbrun. Middels høyt skum som varer. Svak fruktaroma. Litt tynn smak av grapefrukt. Blir syrligere etter hvert. Last visit to the old The Harp? Fuller’s next. A bit sceptical about the takeover. It will be difficult to maintain the atmosphere and beer quality with a new management.

Keg at Bacchus, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Wednesday 30th September 2014. Pours hazy gold with white sticky head. Really full flavoured slight scented feel to this but with for some reason a slight creamy nutty edge to add to the inevitable bittersweet citrus punch. Really great. Yup another winner that Loz is on! A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

Cask at CBC Clerkenwell - London. Pours clear, deep gold with a frothy white head. The nose holds minerals, grains and grass. Light to medium sweet flavor with some grainy malts, orange rind, minerals, earth, grass, burnt straw. Medium bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Mildly resinous to finish with some further rye grains, sand, toasty grass, pale bred, pine needles. Not bad.

Cask (The Harp, Charing Cross) - Golden in colour. Gooseberries, grapefruit and lemon feature in both the aroma and the tangy and hoppy taste. Refreshing and enjoyable.
