Cask, hand-pulled at York Tap. Half-pint shared with Finn. Good lacing down the glass, filmy layer covering a hazy golden body. Aroma of lemony hops, hints of oranges as well. Taste of hoppy fruits, lightly spiced and semi-dry, leading to a quite heavy bitterness to the finish. Medium bodied. A good beginning to our pub crawl in York, Saturday 26.01.2013.

Bottle from Theatre of Wine, Greenwich. Light amber pour with a white head. Zesty aromas with some light spice, quite fruity. Lots of floral notes too. Spicy flavour with hints of caramel. This combo works rather well. Spicy bitter finish. Tasty stuff.

Aroma: Herbal, grassy and lemony.

Appearance: Slightly hazy golden body with a large white head that slowly fades. Light carbonation. Nice lacing.

Taste: Pale malt and citrus flavours. The jasmine tea is nice, subtle addition. Quite low bitterness.

Palate: Thin to medium body with a very oily texture. Soft carbonation.

Overall: A really tasty, unusual IPA. The addition of jasmine tea is noticeable on the finish.

Take 2 Bottle from Tomlinsons, Inverness [300113]
Orange amber, light haze, frothy white head that dissipates to thin film. Aroma of floral perfume, spicy hops, hint of lemon hops, hint of hay malt in background, some odd herbal plant notes. Unusual aromatic taste, mouthful of random flower petals, spicy hops, dab of citrus hop, pale sweet caramel malts in the background, slight hint of ginger, touch of green stem, light herbal notes quite weird to be honest, not that harmonious in flavour though...Holland & Barrett beer?..!! Taste is better than aroma. Alcohol is pretty well hidden. Palate - Soft carb, medium body, quite oily. Finish is particulary dry, quite bitter hops, lingering flowers
Overall - Far better than the cask I had earlier in the month. Experimental beer - it’s very interesting and wacky...I’m glad I’ve tried the bottle as the dodgy cask gave a poor impression. Did they pull it off?..not quite imho but it’s still fairly good

Cask @ Roscoe Head 040113
Light straw, clear, thin white head
Aroma - soft cereals, bit yeasty
Taste - bitter cereal, yeast, bit buttery, not great
Palate - thinnish body, bit powdery. Finish - dry dry grains. very bitter linger
Overall - Not good - I didn’t like this..... Must be in poor condition looking at the other rates? Worth a re-rate in future 2.4

On cask at Tap East Stratford. Clear orange gold with slight haze and few white bubbles. Tasty tangerine ipa. Nit hugely bitter but fruit is lovely bit of green tea on finish. Yeah fruit flavours are pretty top notch

9th December 2012
Tap East Brewpub. Light haze on this gold beer, tiny white head. Smooth palate with very moderate carbonation. Sweet white flowers! A little citrus stops it becoming cloying. Reminds me of the recent Thornbridge but not quite as good as that gem. Any green tea is vanishingly subtle. Smooth semi dry finish with mild bitter linger.

Cask-conditioned at the North Yorkshire beeriodical, the Seven Stars, Bristol 10/12/2012. Slightly hazy amber with a decent white head. Big tropical fruit and grassy hop aroma with a hint of something spicy. Flavour had solid cereal malts, green herbs, a lot more fruit and a lingering dry finish. Excellent.

Cask at The Rake, London. Pours clear, rich yellow with a small, creamy white head. Aroma holds some floral hops, orange and lemon, dry pine. Medium sweet flavor with decent bitterness, some herbal notes, dry orange, dry grass. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Dry finish, medium sweet with toasted grass, floral and herbal bitterness, dried out citrus, light spicy pine. An alright IPA.

Cask at Craft Beer Co, Islington on 7th December 2012. Poured through sparkler. Amber with thick white head. Lemony and herby aromas. Leafy in-mouth with recognisable green tea and jasmine notes. Crisp grassy hoppy finish with the green tea lasting throughout. Very smooth mouthfeel and medium body. Very pleasant novelty IPA.

Cask @ 3 Judges. Dark golden colour, white head. Aroma is hoppy, citrus, light malted. Flavour is good hopped, citrus, followed by biscuit. Fairly bitter and dry finish. Very good.
