Keg at the Cock Tavern, London. Pours very murky golden-brown with a modest, creamy cap. Aroma holds plenty of ripe citrus, some bready pale malts, hints of berries. Medium to big sweet flavor with some juicy pine, grapefruit, peach, berries, light sandy straw. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Faint warmth in the finish with some moderate resinous pine, lots of juicy, ripening citrus fruits, orange, mango, grapefruit. Not especially graceful but in the end it is reasonably balanced and pretty damn flavorful. Yep, a decent IPA.

Cask at the Cock Tavern, London. Pours clear, bright and deep gold with a fine, creamy head. Aroma holds resinous grass and pine, some ripe citrus. Light to medium sweet flavor with sturdy, somewhat dank and piney bitterness, ripe grapefruit, grass, lightly toasted pale malts. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Resinous and piney hops to finish, good dose of dank, grass, light dry and ripe citrus, grapefruit, orange. Really solid, hoppy session beer. Lots of character for only 4.6% and the bitterness is never too harsh. Good work.

Light to medium sweet flavor with lots of juicy citrus, orange, some light grapefruit, papaya, bits of straw, moderate bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Good condition. Very lightly resinous to finish, more semi-ripe citrus, orange mostly but also some tangerine. Great balance and good depth for the ABV. Solid.

Cask at the brewpub. The knowledgeable barmaid said this was a tweaked version of Harvest Ale. Almost clear amber beer, good off white head. Palate is light with fine carbonation. Nice limey hops with a trace of lemon sherbet. A little peel bitterness. Mild pine. Finishes smooth with mild grassy bitterness.

Cask at the Brew Pub. Hazy amber beer, little white head. Palate is silky with fine carbonation. Nice palate! Very nice hops! Lovely bitter sweet citrus - orange, tangerine, lime and a little lemon. Touch of sweet pine. Finishes smooth and limey with moderate bitterness. Effortlessly drinkable and sessionable!

Cask at the Southampton Arms on 5th February 2013. Reddish amber with thin loose foam. Strongly spicy, smoky and earthy aroma. Fruitiness, smoke, firewood and citric hops in-mouth. Tangy finish with sweet smoke and earthiness that becomes increasingly dry. Medium body and carbonation.

Cask at the Southampton Arms on 27th November 2012. Hazy amber with quick-to-die off white laceless head. Yeasty, earthy aroma. Gentle citric tang in-mouth with soft herbiness. Bayleaf notes. Finish carries the same flavour points and becomes increasingly bitter. Zingy mouthfeel; fairly chunky body.

Cask at the Cock Tavern, London. Pours lightly hazy gold with a soft, white foam head. Brilliant aroma, the citra really shines through, with some orange and tangering and grapefruit in particular. Light to medium sweet flavor with some tasty pale malt backbone, light dry pine needles, further orange and tangerine, some suggestions of sugary white bread. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Good, mildly resinous finish with moderate yeast notes, orange, dry grass and pine, melon, grapefruit. Very drinkable with a great, robust citrus character; a really juicy APA. One of (if not the) the best beers I’ve had from Howling Hops.

On tap at the Cock Tavern, London - shared with Jack. Pours amber-gold with a small, white foam head. Plenty of ripe citrus in the nose, some other fruit notes. Light sweet flavor with orange, lemon, some rindy citrus, hints of pine. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Pretty clean to finish, light bitterness, further citrus fruits and faintly resinous pine. Very easy drinking beer.
