Can from Cork & Cask. Hazy golden body with a thick white head. Good lacing. Aroma of straw, grass, passionfruit and lemon. Flavour of lemon, lime, passionfruit, cereal and caramel. Thin to medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Soft carbonation. Bright and crisp. An excellent beer.

Bottle from Cornelius. Murky bronze body with a massive off-white head. Nice lacing. Aroma of melon, caramelised sugar, toffee apple and orange. Flavour is initially sweet from the lightly roasted malts, then there’s a big, bitter, hoppy hit - notes of orange, lime and grapefruit. Very dry. Medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Lively fizz. There are bucket-loads of hops in this - it reminds me of Top Out’s (also excellent) The Cone.

Keg @ Holyrood 9A 140712
Dark brown, lots of ruby light through
Aroma - soft dark malts, not much smoke on the nose
Taste - dark caramel malts, soft smoke, soft chocolate, the smoke is subtle here
Palate - medium carb, wasn’t too fizzy, light to medium body. FInish as main flavour
Overall - Keg doesn’t suit this beer. I’d like to re-rate bottled or cask
