On tap at Mother Kellys Vauxhall. Cloudy gold lasting white head. Some dank hop some fresh hop flowers some turkish delight flavour. Lots of hops no doubt. Decent bitterness. Pretty good fresh hoppy apa. Lots of hop tannin. Not unpleasant. Pretty good. Hop flower tannin is good.

Cloudy hazy gold with a frothy white head. Decent enough IPA, was perhaps expecting a bit more of a hop punch

Keg @ Nightjar, Hebden Bridge. Amber-gold with a thick frothy head. Has a mix of tropical fruits and caramel flavours. All of these are crisp and perhaps feels a little thin for its strength.

Hazy, orange colored, medium white head, OK lacing. Aroma is of orange, coconut, some malt, bit citric with light soury notes. Taste is medium+ sweet malt, tropical fruit, orange, citrus, coconut, medium bitterness, dry finish, also some citric acidity. Medium+ bodied, soft carbonation, oily. Would be a bit better without the acidity. (on tap, Salt Horse, Edinburgh)
