Cask @ Head Of Steam, Leeds. Blonde with a creamy head, and not the expected spicy kick given its name. Nevertheless it’s a decent dryish hoppy pale ale.

500ml bottle: BBE Dec 17. Poured into an Abbot Ale badged glass tankard at home on 17th Mar 17 during a ’random tasting evening’ with myself. Snow white foaming head on a clear amber body, clean and bright looking. Aroma leans towards citrusy tropical fruits, the taste follows the same lines but with a mild malty base. Taste gets more bitter and citrusy towards the end of each sip/gulp. Dry finish, too many semi-sour/bitter citrus flavours for me, but a decent enough beer: might be better in Cask form within a pub with mates.

500ml bottle into an ’Old Speckled Hen’ badged vase shaped pint glass at home on 28th Oct 2016. Clear, clean deep golden pour, full white head on top. Hops all the way here, bitter, yes, but blended so they don’t pucker the lips and cheek. No citrus nonsense here, honest English hops with bitterness their main aim, not a grapefruit ester to be found: good! Proper throw back to before the ’new wave’ hops from New Zealand and where ever started to turn our national drink into a citrus flavoured drink.
