Cask @ The Welly with richthevillan and jmgreenuk. Pours clear shiny gold with a good white head. Floral, fruity nose. Taste brings a rich, aged oaky feel to a floral lemon citrus character, noticeable honeyed hop presence with a brisk bitterness. Fine overall.

Cask. Amber beer with a cream head. Grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit and light malt flavor. Medium bodied. Grapefruit and light malt linger.

Cask at The Wellington, Birmingham. Poured a crystal clear light yellow colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, floral hops. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a smooth, dry, light oak, floral woody hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation. Very pithy. Makes a big statement in some ways but is lacking in others. Nice to taste, but not a beer I would order again.

On gravity at the Volunteer, Bristol 16/4/2023. Almost black in colour and opaque, with a slight, beige, head. Juicy dark berries, some creamy oats, vanilla and a touch of toastiness in the finish. East drinking and good for it.

Cask at the Blue Blazer. Pours black with a thin beige head. Aromas of roast and burnt orange. Taste is red berry and coffee, light pine. Bitter finish.

Cask @ Barum Top Inn, Halifax. Black with an extremely thin head. Quite strong and robust with its dark malt character, but its fruit manages to make its mark here and the fusion is flavoursome.

Cask at JDW The London & South Western, Clapham, London (27/03/2023) - Citrus fruity notes of lemon and grapefruit, sweet bready malts, soft cask carb, fruity and hoppy finish. Good stuff.

Cask at JDW Moon Under Water, Norbury (26/03/2023) - JDW Spring Fest 2023 - dark roasted malty and hoppy aroma and taste, some notes of cocoa and roast coffee, subtle hoppy undertones, medium body and soft mouthfeel, sweet roasted malty and hoppy finish.

Can at The Picture House (JDW), Stafford. Lightly hazed yellowy-gold with a white head. Exceptionally refreshing from the off, with florals up front followed by lemon and grapefruit and just a touch of pine. So, so moreish and drinkable. The flavours don't seem quite as punchy as I remember in the original version of Citra, but it does seem more refreshing. Very very good indeed.
