Bottle from Darts Farm near Exeter. Hazy golden-amber with a huge craggy white head. Creamy banana throughout with pepper, ginger and orange promises much but it’s all ruined by a harsh dry metallic bitterness. Really too much metal. Not a fan of this.

(Cask at Southampton Arms, Gospel Oak, London, 27 Nov 2014) Hazy golden colour with foamy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of grass, citrus, white bread and fruit salad. Malty, fruity taste with bread, citrus, grass, tropical fruit and a fresh grapefruit bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Refreshing, with a good hop character. Nice one.

Cask at the Cambridge Winter Ales Festival 2015. Yellow and hazy. Low carbonation. Massive grapefruit and lemon peel aroma. Bittersweet fruity hit. Mostly bitter, with sugary sweet edges. Bittersweet finish. Gets better and better over the course of the drink. Recommended.

Gravity cask at Cambridge Winter Ales Festival, 2015. Liquorice, cherry, chocolate aroma. Taste is lovely. A bitter hoppy porter shot through with star anise. Spice, sweetness and bitterness blend in a lovely smooth finish. Grassy hop in the bitter aftertaste. Remarkable.
