355ml bottle. Pours amber with a large head. Aroma is grass and spicy hops with a littile bit of skunk. Spicy start with a big caramel malty finish. Ends dry and spicy. Not the typical Ipa but quite a good beer nonetheless.

Cask at JDW Edgware Road. Pours clear amber with a soft, creamy and off-whit head. Holds a bready malt aroma with some faint fruits and earthy hops. Has a bready, nutty, slightly salty malt flavor, mildly sweet, with some very slight citrusy bitters. Light in body with soft, smooth carbonation. Finishes malty and fairly drty. Not bad.
