One-third pint, on keg at Tap East. Shared with Finn. Upper part lacing from a diminishing white head. Hazy yellowish body. Quite promising smell of dusty hops and ripe citrus. Lemony flavours, rather dry. Rounded hop fruity end, satisfying bitterness to it. Decent session qualities. (London 17.11.2021).

Gravity cask at Pigs Ear 2021 - Hackney. Pours clear black-brown with a small, frothy tan head. Lightly sweet with sturdy ashy roast, nips of burnt rubber, dry cocoa, earth. Light bodied with fine carbonation; decent condition. Bitter, lightly drying finish, more ashy roast, baking cocoa, scorched earth, coffee grinds. Sound.

Gravity cask at Pigs Ear 2021 - Hackney. Pours clear gold with no head. Suggestions of fresh hops, lemon, pine needles, some pale bread, crunchy grains. Light bodied with soft carbonation; the condition is lacking. Finishes with more pale bread, lightly pithy lemon and grapefruit, biscuits. Could be quite nice but the condition brings it way down.

Delt med Rune. Gusjegrågul. Middels høyt kremaktig skum som daler sakte. Tung fruktig aroma. Smaken sitronskall. Tørr sitruspreget bitter avslutning.

Keg at The Rake, Borough. As 'Hazy Session IPA'. Light lazy stonefruit aroma. Copper gold. Thin blotchy creamy white head. Light-medium sour with a sweet edge that gets more sugary. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Dry somewhat astringent finish. Bland.

Keg at The Rake, Borough. Low key chocolate malty aroma. Dark and glossy. Thin beige creamy head. Initial creamy sweetness before a sour berry edge kicks in, however remains sweet throughout. Medium bodied. A touch creamy. Flat carbonation. Abrupt finish. Enjoyable enough.

(Cask at Rake, Borough, London, 22 Nov 2019) Dark brown colour with foamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with chocolate, coffee, smoke and roasted malt. Roasted, malty taste with notes of chocolate, coffee, dark bread, a touch of smoke and a balanced roasty bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and well balanced with a gentle smoke touch. Nice one.

Phelonic yeast esters which is often a trademark of this stile. Bitterness. Lemon juice. Very similar to benchmark Belgian IPA's.

[On tap at the brewery.] A straw coloured pour with a ring of white head; grainy aroma; soft bready body, with a sharp grainy sourness; and a tart finish with a touch of unripe apple. Excellent.
