[Cask at GBBF 2005] An orange beer with a small orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with light caramel notes. The flavor is sweet and with a hoppy dry end - my guess is Goldings hops. The body is thin.

Cask handpull at Wetherspoons Folkestone. Orange colour with no head. Nice enough. Hop/yeast/caramel aroma. Bit thin in mouth with tingly hop on end. Some green apple

Casked. A bit hazy orange colour with minor white head. Fruity bitter, hayish aroma. Flavour is not too exciting, mainly sour fruits. Quite standard cask bitter.

Bottled. Copper coloured, mediumsized beige head. Hoppy and flowery nose with hints of some fruits. Flavour hoppy and fruity with some malty hints. Huge hoppy peak in finish. Kind of dry. Hayish aftertaste in the "backparts" of mouth.

Bottled. Clear golden, small head. Rich citrus aroma. Sweet with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Juicy and freshly hoppy. Flavourful and very drinkable. An excellent IPA!

Cask at GBBF Pale gold colour, bit of hay in the aroma. Hops are dominant which increase in flavour as the beer goes on. As we had so many of this style of beer it can become difficult to distinguish but this one I did like and found it very drinkable

Bottled (BB 09/2005)
Golden, dark honey color. Mostly vanishing head. Flowery Englsih hops in the nose. Hoppy: grass and trefoil flavors. Suprisingly quite good bitterish ale for this ABV. Maybe just a bit too one-dimensional.

Cask at Head of Steam, Euston, London Citrusy blondish/gold beer. Not very nice and I only had a half which I was glad about. Okells can be a bit up and down in my experience

Cask @ County Hotel (JDW) Ashford. Copper coloured, citrus malty nose, fullish in mouth, slightly sour, with good balanced citrus hoppy finish. After drinking mid brown beers all day, I liked the refreshing spring hoppiness of this

Clear copper brown, rocky white head, lace. Flowery hops, herbs, lemon in the aroma. Trefoil, flowery hoppy flavor. Wheat rounds the corners but otherwise quite ordinary British bitter. Medium-bodied. Bitter aftertaste.
