Cask handpull at The Craft Islington. Clear gold lasting white head. Tropical Australian hops. Wow like a lot of the HopCraft beers this is massively arresting. It certainly doesn’t scrimp on the hops. Massive peach schnapps aroma. Flavour continues through the mouth. Big flavour and hops on the finish. A beer that pins you to the back of your chair. Knowing Gazza and having drunk several of his beers this is the closest to what I think he wants. Wow. Slightly better nick is my only niggle. Amazing beer.

Craft Islington. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, small white head. Palate is smooth and dry but also a little on the flat side. Nice hops here - juicy lime, little skunk, lesser bitter tropical fruits. Finishes dryand smooth with a strong bitter linger. A bit more life would have really elevated this.

Craft Islington. Cask. Clear deep red - amber beer, small tan head. Palate is a chewy mix of dry and almost no carbonation. Mellow dark malts with light touches of earthy roast and coffee. Mild tangy dark fruits get stronger through the flavour profile and save this beer. Traces of candy sweetness and apple before a smooth dry finish. Tasty but flat and dry and the barrelling is barely noticeable. Still all right though!

Cask at Craft Beer Co. It pours deep brown with a small light tan head. The nose is soft, roasty, dark chocolate, toast, coffee and a touch of dark fruits. The taste is smooth, roasty, toast, coffee, dark chocolate, light peppery notes and faint dark fruits with a dry, toasty finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Not quite as hoppy as I wad expecting from these guys. Rather smooth and well rounded. Easy drinking given the abv. Nice.
