Cask at Craft 100. It pours hazy pale gold with a medium white head. The nose is toasty, sweet dough, light spice, orange peel and herbal notes. The taste is crisp, bitter, doughy, grass, orange peel, lemony soap, grapefruit and herbal with a bitter, somewhat citric finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. All comes together rather well. Rather nice.

Craft100 fest at Craft Clapham. Cask. Lightly hazy gold beer, residual white head. Palate is light and smooth and semi dry, fine carbonation. Smooth pale malt, semi sweet. Good dried fruit hops, ironically quite juicy. Touches of fresh orange and floral hop. Mild syrupy mango. Light dry finish. Tasty.

Keg @ Brewery Tap, Leeds. Massive raw hops in the nose, continuing in the taste accentuated by the bouquet of flowers on the ledge right next to me. Some fruity elements but essentially all about the hops. Nice.
