Cask at the Euston Tap, London. Pours dark brown with a fine, white foam head. Lots of dark, chalky and roasted malts on the nose. Light sweet flavor with quite a bit of char, tobacco, burnt wood, light minerals, faint burnt plastic. Light bodied with average carbonation. Mildly dry on the finish, lightly sweet with lots more charred malts, faint roast, faint burnt plastic, dirt, burnt cocoa. It’s OK. A few off-notes but overall it isn’t bad.

On tap at the Euston Tap. Light haze on this gold beer. Little white head. Smooth dry palate. Mild carbonation. Nice hops - sweet start, a little orange and generic citrus. Turns a tiny bit sour and a little bitter. More tangy than anything. Creamy malt underneath. Semi dry finish.

Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 1/07/2012. Straw coloured with a thin white head. Big, grassy hop aroma with a touch of tropical fruit. Flavour had some cereal malts, and a hint more fruit which gave way to a rasping, bitter finish. A lot going on for 3% ABV, but a bit one dimensional.

Bottle from Grape & Grind, Bristol. Slightly hazy gold in colour, with a decent white head, and plenty of small bubbles. Grassy, pineapple and grapefruit aroma with a hint of caramel. Flavour had more tropical fruit, with a solid malt base and long, bitter finish, with a whiff of pine. Very good.

Cask at Craft Beer Co, London on 1st June 2012. Fairly clear gold with an off-white non-lacing foam. Rich and intense hoppiness in aroma. Sharply bitter in-mouth with grassy hoppiness. A sharp bitterness lingers in the aftertaste. Engaging texture.

Cask at the Euston Tap, London. Pours clear, yellow-gold with a soft, white cream head. Pretty heavy hop nose with lots of raw grass, hop leaves and ripe grapefruit. Medium to strong sweet flavor with high bitterness, some orange juice, citrus peel, alcohol, rubbing alcohol, grass and earth. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Warm finish with aggressive bitterness, heady alcohol, deep grass, ripe orange, grapefruit, faint toasty sugar. It’s pretty rough in several ways. The hops and booze come on quite strong. This one needs some tweaking.
