On tap at Brewdog Birmingham, pours a cloudy orange copper with a small white head. Nose brings out dry piney hops, dry crackery malt, and some floral hops. Flavour is extremely astringent and dry - really quite harsh - with lots of boozy notes, pine and crackery malt. Not very well-balanced. A bit difficult to drink. Still, decent stuff.

Draught @ The Rover. Pours cloudy milky pale yellow with a big frothy white head that slowly dissipates while leaving lots of sticky lacing on the glass. Smell is tiny fruity with crackers, lemon juice, hay, dry soil, white pepper corns, lemon zest and hints of yuzu juice. Taste is tiny sour, tiny bitter, tiny fruity and slightly phenolic with crackers, lemon juice, star fruit, dry soil, hay, lemon zest, orange zest, white pepper corns, bay leaves and lemon grass. Mouthfeel is crisp, dry, slightly tart and light bodied. Finish is tiny sour, tiny bitter, tiny fruity and tiny phenolic with crackers, hay, dry soil, white pepper corns, lemon juice and bay leaves. Refreshing!

Keg at Craft Beer Co, Brighton. A dark golden/straw coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, malty, citrus/tropical fruit aroma. Tastes similar, hoppy, malty, tropical fruit, pine. An elegant tasting complex IPA that I could drink all day. Very nice indeed.

Bottle from Beer Central, Sheffield. I was unaware there was such a thing as a white wine barrel aged version of this, but that’s what the label says, so that’s what I’m rating. Anyhow, it’s hazy, green tinged, straw coloured. Bright white, tight, lasting head. Yeast. Lime. Some vanilla. Some wood. Hint of grass. Taste is lemon tartness. Bone dry. Very bitter. Smooth, creamy palate. Dry, bitter, crunchy finish. Loads of taste.

Keg at CPK - London. Pours perfectly clear, yellow-gold with a creamy white head. Nice pithy citrus and generally stone notes in the aroma. Light sweet flavor with lots of dry, pithy citrus character , that foamy white stuff in an orange, some clean minerality, grapefruit, melon. Light bodied with average carbonation. Crisp, lean, short and clean on the finish with lingering pithy and rindy citrus, limestone, slight dried pine needles, more grapefruit, tangerine rind. Very clean and highly drinkable.

Cask: half-pint at the Pheasant, Wellington, Shropshire on 14th June 2014. Golden and clear body, on top a white covering of bubbles. Citrus notes from the start, this is heavily hopped with grapefruit notes leading the flavours throughout. Not my thing, but if you are into light beers with a citrus bent, then this is for you.
