Cask handpull at Willow Walk Spoons Victoria. Hazy amber lasting white head. Pretty decent British ipa. Some peach apricot. Good hop sting on the finish. Some decent fruit. Full without being syrupy. Impressive.

Golden with next to no head. It’s got a firm hop to it, especially in its nose with sweeter fruit notes for its flavour.

Cask at The Clachan. It pours dirty orange with a small white head. The nose is orange squash, passion fruit, marmalade, pepper, sweet plastic, ginger and hay. The taste is bitter, juicy orange, tangerine, passion fruit, resin, peppery bite and some alcohol with a bitter, citric finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. A big, bold beer from Portobello. Thankfully not cloying as many cask IPAs are. Really enjoyable citrus character and bitter bite.
