Cask at Windsor Castle; Drink No.3 in #no9twissup, this is one of the palest ales I’ve had clear straw yellow with a thin white head, glorious citrus hop aroma, the taste has a big Citra hit, Chris the brewer told our party that since changing hop to Citra it is the beer he wanted it to be, I can only agree, the is a beautifully crafted low ABV session beer. The stand out beer from the day for most on the day. --- Beer merged from original tick of JPA on 09 Mar 2013 at 13:57 - Score: 8

Stout with a noticeable strength and feels heavy in the palate. The vanilla is noticeable although it seems to add a soapy character to the ale. What roasted malts there are, are very light.

Cask @ Bow, Edinburgh [050213]
Light golden, slight haze, thin dense white head, some lacing
Aroma of lemony hops, citrus, some grape, soft grapefruit, light pale malt
Taste of grapefruit hops, tropical fruits, sweet pale malts, resinous hops, pretty hoppy with a fair amount of sweet pale malts in there too but it’’s not a US ’hop bomb’
Palate - medium body, fairly oily texture, quite sticky, sherberty hops on the palate. Very fruity tail of sweet pale malts and bitter citrus hops
Overall - A good ’English-style’ APA - I do recall having it in Spoons last year and it was even more sweet hoppy and resinous
