8/5/2020. Can bought from the brewery at the start of lockdown. Pours cloudy pale orange with an average size off-white head. Aroma is piney, hoppy, malty, orange. Moderate sweetness and medium plus bitterness. Earthy and resinous finish. Definitely a throwback to early modern IPA’s.

Keg at Mother Kelly’s - Bethnal Green. Pours unclear orange with a creamy, mostly white head. Good old-school IPA, lots of piney character, decent bitterness, malty backbone, ripening citrus fruits. Medium to full bodied, lightly chewy, with fine, massaging carbonation. Lightly resinous finish, nips of grass, pine, sun-kissed malts, orange rind. Not bad.

On tap at Craft Room Zagreb. Pitch black coloured, medium sized brown head, slightly acidic honey nose. Heavy and almost unpleasant honey and wax like taste with notes of chocolate in the finish. Not for my taste.

Cask at Craft Beer Co, Cov Garden. 04/03/20. Nil aroma. Opaque chestnut. Off white creamy but thin head. Light-medium bitter. Very malty. Some citrus into the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Astringent finish. What is it? A hoppy ESB?

Tap, Sir William's Pub. Pitch black, thin beige head, nonlasting. Mild chocolate nose, some biscuits and a bit more honey notes. Gently sweet, biscuits and hony, as well as some citrusy/lemony honey character, much more noticeavle than in the nose. Medium body. Nicely drinkable, nice honey presence.

Keg at the brewery. A clouded bright orange gold coloured pour with a thin white head. Aroma is odd funky grapefruit, flabby grains, wheat, seaweed. Flavour is composed of weird salty cittus, flabby, wheat, meh. Palate is tangy, flabby, oiky, moderate carbonation. Not good.
