Cask at Merton Beer Festival Saturday 28th February 2015. Rich reddy colour good clarity with an off white head. Initial assertive bitterness is soon tempered, there is pleasant fruity bite with a good tanginess. Soft squidgy orangey citrus, I think the oakiness is perhaps more subtle and works to add a little more complexity and softens the beer a little. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

On tap at brewery in company of Ang’, Friday 6th February 2015 Pours very pale lemony gold, superb clarity. The nose let’s on that this is a sour. Really tart and tangy in mouth in a cider or very dry challenging wine type way. Really dry finish, hops have all but left the party, really refreshing. Would be a perfect summer beer.

On tap at brewery in company of Ang’, Friday 6th February 2015 Lovely nose quite floral with parma violets in particular showing. Quite soft in mouth. Despite what Ang’ thinks this isn’t overly bitter in fact I think the bitterness is great. A very good IPA, decent hoppiness throughout, really lovely. I returned to this again as the evening wore on, damn good beer. A8 A4 T8 P4 Ov16 4.0

Cask at Craft Beer Co, Covent Garden on 25th January 2015. Sepia-black with pale tan foam and chunky lacing. Rich and intense roasty aroma with coffee notes. Intense roastiness in-mouth with coffee flavours and spicy touch. Finish rather sweeter, with caramel roasty malts. Fair amount of body and an engaging texture. Well-crafted stout.

Shared bottle at RB/HD. Dark orange. Beige head. Earthy aroma of American hops and pine. Taste is better and more balanced. A bit too carbonated. Earthy and bitter hops in aftertaste.
