Cask-conditioned at the Black & Gold beer festival, the Gryphon, Bristol 2/9/2012. Deep gold with a slight, off-white head. Light, cereal malt and hedgerow fruit aroma. Sweetish malt flavours, with some more fruit and moderately bitter finish. Ok.

Cask at the Crispin, Wokingham. Poured a golden amber with a bubbly head and lots of lace initially. This beer is all about the hops which is very evident in the aroma. The flavour is all hops with some citrus notes. The hoppy bitterness lingers on the palate for a while. I'm not sure what hops they use, but they certainly suit this refreshing session IPA. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Cask at the Row Barge, Guildford. Pours dark brown with a thin white head but loads of lace. Light aroma which leads into a smooth bitter taste with hints of citrus and a touch of caramel on the palate. A very drinkable beer and extremely refreshing. I could probably drink this all night long and thats the best recommendation I can give this beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Cask at Wetherspoons, Ruislip Manor (New brew beer festival). A deep brown ruby coloured pour with virtually no head on top. Sweet, fruity aroma. Tastes sweet, malty, fruity with some caramel in there too. Rather thin and uninspiring.

330ml bottle from the brewery shop. Straw with a billowing white head that fades to just a ring; rich aroma of grassy hops with a touch of musty yeast; crisp and fresh in the mouth with a grainy body and a touch of citrus; before a firm herbal bitterness that leads to a dry finish with some lingering stewed vegetable flavours that are surprisingly pleasant. An excellent pilsner.
