Cask ale, half at the House of Trembling Madness. Hazy apricot coloured body. Naked surface. Rings of lace down the glass. Grassy hops on the nose alongside a touch of earthy malts. Fresh juicy fruits to the flavour profile, orange and lemon, moderate malty sweetness beneath. Bittersweet ending. Medium bodied. Likable (York 11.07.2014).

Half pint from the keg menu at York Tap. A remaining low white head to a cloudy golden body. Lemony hops and coriander on the nose. Fruity taste joined by a spice touch, subdued hints of ginger. Nice fruity ending. Soft carbonation. A very refreshing summer ale (York 10.07.2014).

Hand-pulled cask ale at York Tap, half-pint. Faint fawn-coloured head to a devil-black body. Quite rich aromas of roasted malts, tobacco, coffee, and chocolate sweetness. Brown and black malty flavours of liquorice, coffee and earth leading to a roasted bitter ending. Surprisingly easy to drink. Likeable (York 10.07.2014).

Bottle @ home, thanks to trade with minutemat if memory serves me correctly. Clear orange to dark golden color, full sized a bit rough white to off-white head that lasts for a decent while. Aroma is malts and hops, but unfortunately also a bit sweaty and dusty. Have I left it in the cellar for too long? Well it’s been there for a little over a month so it shouldn’t be affected too much should it? Anyway, taste also has malts and a sweaty, old hops flavor. Some bitterness in there for sure but it doesn’t make up for the hops gone bad. Perhaps I will have a chance to try it again some time.

Very hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is slightly soft but has decent fine carbonation. Light creamy malt. Hops are a mellow marmalade and a nice touch of that herbal lemon that I would normally associate with Sorachi Ace but I guess is Perle here. Light semi dry finish. Decent and drinkable.

Keg at PSBH, then 330ml bottle at home. Pours hazy gold, light citrus aroma. Mild NZ hops, orange, malt, citrus with a nice bitter finish to keep you in check. Nice easy-going summer beer.

330ml bottle. Pours murky orange with lasting white head. Decent piney orange aroma from the Zythos hop, lots of Citra citrus in the taste with an assured bitterness and dry finish. Some spice and floral notes. Very nice IPA I have to say.
