Cask at CBC Clerko, 3rd birthday after party with Robbie behind the bar, some random bloke and myself, 23/06/14. Almost clear golden with a moderate off white covering. Nose is orange marmalade, apricot, funky pangs, Belgian yeast character. Taste comprises candied fruit peel, mandarin, citric pith, light grapefruit wash, straw, light farmy tones. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close laced with hop bitterness and a jammy citric rinse. Decent enough Belgique/farmhouse IPA affair.

Cask at Craft Clerko. It pours gold with a medium white head. The nose is earthy, doughy, spice, underlying sweetness, light citrus peel, spice and over-ripe fruits. The taste is bitter-sweet, earth, bread, banana, ripe fruits, hay, citrus peel and mild spice with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Not without its charms. Solid.

Tap at Friends of Ham, Leeds. Hazy, straw colour. Film of white head. Dry. Crisp. Zesty. Some pineapple, which comes across a bit odd. Turns dry and minerally. Finish is more of the same. Peculiar.
