Handpull cask at the Fishpond, Matlock Bath. Mid- to dark gold and a bit hazy with a light film of white head. Aroma is pink grapefruit, fruited caramel, freshly mown grass. Taste is more focused with a hymn to Citra. Grapefruit, bitter, just amazing. Doesn't compare with Oakham Citra but it's close. So... it sort of does. What a beer.

Hand-pulled half-pint in the Salopian, Shrewsbury on 19th June 2023. Tanned head, black bodied. Coffee aroma and taste, no Whiskey notes for me, just a malty Oatmeal Stout.

Cask at Victoria Inn, Derby. ~pours cchrome yellow with minimal white head and good lacing. Some citrus and floral hops in the aroma, but not overdone. In the mouth it is slightly bitter with floral hops and grains plus hints of caramel. After a while it becomes a bit sweeter. It’s OK, but nothing special.
