Cask at CBC Clerkenwell - London. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. The nose is big on grass and small on biscuity pale malts and hay. Light sweet flavor with aggressive bitter grass, some earth, dry grains. Light bodied with fine carbonation; OK condition. Further grassy bitterness to conclude, with some lemon rind and biscuits. Not bad overall but far too bitter.

Cask at Craft Beer Co, Clerkenwell on 1st August 2014. Hazy gold with a thinning off-white film and scant lacing. Inviting hoppy, yeasty aroma. Bitter hoppiness in-mouth with a solid, satisfyingly bitter finish that intensifies, seemingly with each sip. Fair amount of body and engaging mouthfeel.

Had this on draught at GBBF, Olympia, London, Tuesday 12th August 2014 Pours black with a ruby glint, clearly a mild but quite a full-on mild, a roasty caramel linger initial sweetness subsides, a dab of spiciness (not sure what exactly) ends a little dry. Jolly decent. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4

Cask - Pale malts with some earthy hops. Clear gold with a decent head. Bitter hops, perfumy and a long finish. Not bad.

On cask at Chesterfield Alehouse - Pitch black body, robust tan head. The nose is strong roast coffee, chocolate, liquorice and blackcurrant. There’s also a whiff of alcohol warmth that shouldn’t be there. Taste is as the nose, only the body reminds you that it is only 4.3%. Surprised with this.
