Hand pulled half pint in my local Spoons on 5th June 2025. Dark mahogany body, beige top. Malty little number with a soft caramel leaning in the nose and taste. Initially semi sweet before tapering off and becoming more bitter.

Cask at Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a (very) dark reddish-brown with a small cream head and good lacing. There’s malts and toffee in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet, though somewhat watery, with malts again prominent. Dark fruits and cola are also in the mix with hints of traditional hops and chocolate coming later. Sweetness lasts into the finish. This is quite nice.

Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours golden amber with a medium sized foamy cream head and good lacing. Not much of an aroma – just hints of malts and citrus. In the mouth it starts off slightly sweet and juicy with a creamy texture but a little bitterness creeps in slowly. Flavour has mango, citrus and hints of floral hops with autumn fruits becoming evident later. Finish is fruity and slightly sticky. This is reasonable.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A bright amber pour with a tight white head; aroma of citrus and pine; mellow grapefruit taste with a malty body; and a nicely rounded finish with some caramel and a pithy bitterness. A proper west coast IPA, but mellowed down!
