Bottle from Surrey Wine Cellar, Chobham. Floral tinged resin aroma. Dark and glossy, dark brown tints in the light. Thick creamy beige head. Initially a light bitter/umami. Then more bitterness kicks in. Malty with almost salt liqourice and spices when it gets going. Thick bodied. Creamy. Light fizzy carb. Low key finish. Restrained but in this case it's a positive. Well balanced. A black IPA verging on a hoppy stout. Pleasant.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 10/8/2017. Deep gold in colour, with a frothy, off-white, head. Aroma of tangerines, pineapple and grassy hops. Flavour had more citrus fruit, biscuity malts and a dry finish. Good.

Keg at Mother Kelly’s - Bethnal Green. Pours hazy gold with a foamy, white head. Good stuff, moderately creamy, with some semi ripe citrus fruits, light bitterness, pale bread, lemon meringue. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Decent balance in the finish, with more sweet fruit character. Not bad.

Bottle on the train home, 68011, 22/06/17. Golden blonde with a white head of bubbles ... from my bottle chugging view. Nose is citric sherbets, roasted grains, bready notes, melon, tangerine. Taste comprises melon, light peach, tangerine, grassy, toasted grains, Mandarin, roasted grains. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with light floral hop bitterness. Decent enough refreshing golde .... new label and perhaps some recipe tweaks since a year ago?

Malty, wheaty taste with notes of bread, grain, citrus, some banana and a gentle bitterness. Light body, with a touch of sweetness. Decently drinkable, but hardly exciting. Quite enjoyable.
