At the brewpub. Clear gold beer, small white head - short lived. Light smooth palate, semi dry. Fine carbonation. Juicy hops provide a little orange and a lot of grapefruit, the latter being fairly bitter. Touch of lemon. Trace of rye spice. Finishes semi dry with a mildy bitter aftertaste. Well flavoured for it’s modest abv.

Cask at the Brew Wharf, London, thanks to Ang. Pours clear yellow with a fluffy, white head. It’s a great, light and hoppy ale. Some grass, dry lemon. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Clean, dry and hoppy finish with lovely zesty citrus. Lightly tangy with sun-kissed grass. Very good.

Cask at the Brew Wharf, London, thanks to Ang. Pours clear, light orange-yellow with a bubbly, white head. Nice dark grassy nose, some grainy rye, a bit of earth. Medium sweet flavor with a strong hop presence, some tangy rye, ripe citrus. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Medium bitter finish, moderately sweet with a nice, lasting rye tang, citrus fruits and particularly some lemon. Nice beer.

Cask at the Brew Wharf, London, thanks to Ang. Pours clear yellow with a foamy, white head. Plenty of vanilla, some caramel, light piney earth and toast. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Very decent bitter finish, some strong vanilla, modest toasty and dry caramel, straight toast. Interesting - and pretty good - beer.

Shared with Harrisoni on our mini London crawl. Clear gold beer, untidy suddy head. A little sulphur on the nose. Palate is fresh and semi dry. Semi dry malt with a little fruity hop coming through. Also mild marmalade orange. Finshes dry. Pretty average.

Dark brown beer, some light getting through. Smooth semi dry palate. Light chocolate and repressed dark fruits. Subtle cherry and a whisper of apple. Palate is unusually clean and fresh for the style. Not bad but was hoping for more flavour.

Light haze on this gold beer, good off white head. Palate is smooth and semi dry. Hops are juicy with good bitterness. Repressed tropical fruits add colour.,Mango, pineapple and peach embedded in yellow grapefruit. Nice creamy malt backbone. Finishes smooth and semi dry with good bitter linger. Very quaffable. Like this hop, like this beer!

Hazy amber beer, little off white head. Smooth palate, semi dry. Very mild rye spice. Nice smooth hops, rich without being too bitter. A little mild skunk well tuned in with mild tropical fruits. Mango and a little fruit salad. Finishes crisp and dry with mild bitterness. A really approachable and well flavoured pale ale.

Clear paleish gold beer, tidy white head. The palate is lightly smooth and semi dry. Fine carbonation. Has the smooth mouthfeel I think was intended and the pale malt is smooth and indeed a little creamy. Noble hop bitterness brings up the rear with a little fresh hop itch. Finishes dry and crisp with good bitter linger. Could easily sink a few of these.

Cask at ACBF 2012. A black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, oats, and wet hay. The flavor has strong notes of chilis on a lightly roasted background. The chilis burn.
