Take 2 - Cask @ Cloisters110812
Taste was not over clovey, more lemon and the finish wasn’t as harsh - smoother more balanced palate
Cask @ Bow Bar 070812 7/2/7/3/14
Golden, light haze, thin white head, some lacing
Aroma of soft floral hops, light fruits, soft pale malts
Taste - Peppery floral aromatic hops, touch of aniseed, some cloves, background of pale fruity malts, does get a bit over clovey after a while, but has a good flavour
Palate - very soft carb. medium body, smooth mouthfeel due to the wheat. Finish - bitter lingering palate with a background of aromatic soft cloves, bitter hoppy finish gets a bit harsh after a while (I had a pint)
Overall - It’s a good tasting quite unusual beer, just a bit over harsh in the finish

Aroma: Dry hoppy smell. Slightly floral. Not too powerful.
Appearance: Clear, golden body. with a dense, lasting white head. No carbonation. Lots of sticky lacing.
Taste: Hops, hops and more hops. The initial sweetness is replaced with a lovely, lingering bitterness. Flavours of caramel and pine. There’s not a great depth to the flavour, but this is still a tasty beer. Light and moreish.
Palate: Smooth mouthfeel. Flat carbonation. Very dry.
Overall: A very hoppy, easy drinking ale. This is the first beer I’ve had by Great Heck - on this evidence, it won’t be the last.

Cask at the Duchess of Cambridge, London, during the pub’s American Beer Festival. Well, for one thing, this beer has one of the best beer names of all time. It pours clear, light gold with a foamy white cap. Aroma holds some pine, grass, and straw. Flavor is medium sweet with some spicy hops, light pine, pale malts, hints of metal. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Grassy, lightly abrasive bitter finish, medium sweet and somewhat sticky. It balances out after the first few sips. Respectable British IPA. And...Andy Murray wins!
