Cask at the William Webb Ellis (JDW), Twickenham - 15/09/12. Clear golden with a thin white head that retained well. Grain, malt, wheat and light citrus tones on the nose. Taste follows nose, a little grass also. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, dry finish. Decent enough beer without setting the world alight!

A clear golden beer with a mild citrus aroma and a foamy head. A hoppy, citrusy, bittersweet flavour.

Bottle from the Sainsbury’s beer festival. Clear gold with a decent white head and plenty of fizz. Aroma of hay, slightly yeasty stone fruits and grassy hops. Flavours of cereal malts, more fruit and a spicy edge, leading to a dryish finish. Good.

Cask, handpump, Chequers, Oxford, Friday 14th September 2012 Dark shimmering gold with a wispy white head. Not as good as the Harviestoun Wild Hop IPA but still decent. Some sweetness carries, a light fruity orangeyness, bitter at end the sweetness goes onto a dry finish. A7 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.4

On tap @ the Haymarket. Pours light amber with a decent head. The nose has an intense herbiness and so I guess the lavender makes sense. The taste has more lavender or thyme. The palate is well balanced but the high intensity of the lavender note is a little too much. Overall, very interesting but lacks drinkability.

Cask at the Bree Louise, London. Pours clear gold with a tight foam cap. Woody pale malts in the nose with gently toasted hay. Light sweet flavor with dried malts, faint toast and hay bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Semi-dry on the finish with a bit of wood, mild dry leaves, some dry bread. Very meh. Not a whole lot going for this one.

50cl bottle from the brewery at 4.2% ABV. A rather average bitter. Amber with a white head; caramel malt aroma; caramel flavour with a touch of citrus, and rather lacking inthe hops department. Perhaps better from the cask?

50cl bottle from the brewery. Straw coloured with a fast fading white head; pleasant spicy hop aroma; light citrus flavour with a tangy bitterness, giving a sustained finish. Very fresh tasting and summery.
