Bottle. Curious Hop, Otley. Clear amber. Messy, sticky, white head. Peach, mango, and apricot hop. Some citric pith. Juicy malts. Taste is juicy, pithy bitter. Starts light, and rises. Palate is juicy, too, with fine carbonation. Finishes with some lasting, piny, zesty bitterness. Really good.

Bottle. Curious Hop, Otley. Clear gold. Thin, dense, lasting, white head. Beautifully fresh, vibrant passion fruit, mango, and grapefruit aroma. Sweet, juicy malt background. Taste is crisp, clean bitter. Palate is also crisp and clean. A minor quibble is the slight over carbonation. Finishes light, lengthy bitter. Reminds me of the best of North Riding. Excellent.

Almost clear amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, the carbonation level for a bottled beer is weak. Malts being slightly stodgy caramel sweetness. Hops bring skunky pine and mild bitterness. Trace of ripe fruits. Light finish. The lack of carbonation generally makes this one feel stodgy and after the stellar Heart and Soul, this was quite a disappointment.

Cask @ Calans, Hebden Bridge. Golden with a thick creamy head. Lots of tropical fruit to be had here in both aroma and taste with a small citrus sourness attached. Light, and dangerously easy drinking.

Craft Clerkenwell. Cask. Clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, mild fine carbonation. Very light pale malts, mildly sweet. Hops are resinous orange with good marmalade. Light pine and a trace of hop spice. Finishes smooth and dry. Good peel and grapefruit bitter linger. Another well hopped beer from this great new brewery.

Craft Clerkenwell. Cask. Clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry. Decent fine carbonation. Very light pale malts, mild sweetness. Hops bring smooth and slightly sweet pine and mild hop skunk. Resinous grapefruit and light tangy fruits, little tangerine. A vibrant and very well hopped cask affair, coulda woulda shoulda been stellar on Keg ....... 3.8

Bottle - very light pale malts, mildly sweet. Hops are a stunning combo of pine, pineapple and winey gooseberry . Touches of hop spice, generic tropical fruits and a whisper of mint. Wow! If I have had a better one of these so called Session IPAs I can’t recall it. As I suspected, cask did not do this beer any favours, so much better in a bottle.

Craft Clerkenwell. Cask. Clear deep amber - brown beer, small cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Thin but robust dark malts, some roast but not too much sweetness. Hops are pretty bitter, but also bring good citric fruits and a little tropical fruits. Light finish. Strong bitter linger. Good cask CDA, no shrinking violet!
