Cask at the Euston Tap - London. Labeled as ’Hopcraft Mosaic Plus’. Pours clear gold with a light, bubbly white head. Lots of pissy hops in the aroma, a bit of grapefruit. Light to medium sweet flavor with mellow earth, some flowers, urine, pine needles, simple pale malt base. Light bodied with soft carbonation; condition could be better. Finishes with tasty oranges and tangerines, light pee, soft dirty pine bitterness. Not bad.

Cask air pressure at Euston Tap. Clear pale gold lasting white head. Strong mosaic flavour. Some sweaty sox flavour like Nelson Sauvin. Yes big and aroma flavour hoppy but virtually no bitterness no yeast and malt Decent

Cock Tavern. Cask. Pretty much a clear gold beer, no real head. Palate is light and semi dry. Low carbonation. Okay orange and grapefruit peel hops. Light dry finish. A bit flat and overall a bit flacid but passable. 2.8.

Craft Clerkenwell. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and semi dry. Decent fine carbonation. Light semi dry pale malts, clean. Good hops, juicy orange, orange peel, touches of grapefruit and lemon. Light floral tones before a semi dry finish that also brings hop spice. Very drinkable.
