Hand-pulled half-pint in the Shrewsbury Hotel (Spoons) on 24th January 2024. Looked fine, clean and clear autumnal amber with an off-white blanket of creamy bubbles. Malty front, but 'on the turn' should returned it really as it was clearly towards the end of the barrel. Scored kindly because I'm sure it's OK normally.

Cask-conditioned at the Robert Fitzharding (JDW), October 2023. Golden in colour, with plenty of grassy hop character, tangerines and apricots, rich tea malts and a dryish finish. Enjoyable.

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Golden amber with an off-white head. Grapefruit and dry Weetabix and vanilla biscuits with an odd hint of sourness. Hints of toffee behind, some diacetyl. The flavours don't really work together for me, it's a bit of a mess.

Cask at Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton (6/10/23). Pours a slightly hazy pale straw with minimal white head and good lacing. Tropical fruits dominate the aroma, with a few hints of spices. In the mouth it is juicy and slightly bitter. Plenty of flavour with floral hops, citrus, pine and stone fruit. Finish is dry and sticky. Not bad, but not really an IPA.
