On tap during Bobs birthday pubcrawl around Derby, Saturday 9th June 2018, Derby Tap, Derby. Pours dark gold, light amber. Fruity with a bit of a bite. A touch sweet, I understand from the barman that it's a mix of two of their beers. It's fine. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3

Cask on Bobs birthday Derby pub crawl, Saturday 9th June 2018, Derby Tap, Derby. Pours gold with a white head. An altogether better, more refreshing, simpler and better option than the Chilli and Lime IPA. Fruity, light hoppiness, crisp and refreshing, a pleasant beer. . A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3

Cask on Bobs birthday Derby pub crawl, Saturday 9th June 2018, Derby Tap, Derby. Pours gold, clear gold, white head. Wow this is a hot there is so much chilli. The lime provides a brief citrussy respite but then wave after wave of a less than subtle chilli hit floods through. Ok but could have been a lot better methinks. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

On tap at the Land Rover mobile bar. Thursday 24th May 2018 at Bearded Theory Festival. It looks dark gold through my green plastic glass. gold, a touch of summery fruits on the nose, there is a little fruitiness throughout but the hoppy bitter bite is lacking a little. However it's fine enough. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3

Pours a clear coppery amber colour with a tiny loose off white head. A musty malt and bramble berry aroma. Sweet malt taste, a little toffee and twiggy hop flavour that carries though in a dry light bitter finish.

Handpull cask at the White Bear, Hinckley. Golden with the slightest touch of amber. Not much head but there's a film of soapy lacing all down the glass. Herbal, grassy, earthy aroma like freshly dug weeds. There's also a strong hint of raw grain. Taste sweet and floral with a spicy grassy note from the hops. Light oily palate. Not excellent but enjoyable.
