Cask, Ship & Mitre, Liverpool. Clear golden looks with a thin white head. Fairly subdued citrus notes in the nose. Decent condition. Some pale malts lurking but the flavour was dominated by the steadily building grapefruit which lingered well into the long bitter finish. Pretty good.

Bottle at home. It pours clear red-amber, with a thin beige head. The nose is red fruit, leather, floral, pine, cheddar and lemon washing-up liquid. The taste is leather, resin, raw hop, pepper, citrus, metal and nice bitterness, with a long, dry finish. Medium body and moderate to high carbonation. Very good.

Bottle thanks to Nate. It pours hazy pale yellow, with a thick fluffy white head. The nose is tangerine, orange, hay and straw. The taste is resin, hay, citrus pith, metal and tangerine, with a good hop bite and big bitter finish. Light to medium body, moderate carbonation and foamy mouth-feel. Tasty and easy drinking.

Cask at The Hop Pole, Aylesbury. Ruby/black. Roasty licorice with minty hops atop. Dryish and slender, with gentle, rounded mouthfeel. Firm and light, hoppy and elegant with flavours of viola, licorice and menthe. Tasty and hugely drinkable!
