Cask-conditioned at the Dodo, Hanwell 17/11/2017. Near black in colour, with a slight, beige, head. Rich, milk chocolate notes, some coffee beans, porridge oat creaminess, a hint of leafy hop, before a gentle finish. Enjoyable.

Pours an almost clear orange amber colour with a small off white head. Aroma is biscuit malt and leafy hops, and a similar taste, biscuit malt with a nice astringent hop bitterness that lasts. I like it, uncomplicated but good.

Can from CBB in Osaka. This may be an alternate for their regular Session IPA I guess. Made with Rakau, Mosaic and Columbus hops. A clear copper color with a dense soapy head of foam. It has a nice aromatic fruity hop bouquet. The taste is more bitter than expected, the hops may also have over layed some butterscotch diacetyl. Quite disappointing, especially other the 600¥ or so price. As this warmed up the rating went in the crapper as this became a diacetyl mess of butterscotch sweetness verging on undrinkable.

On cask at Prospect of Whitby. Slightly hazy orange body with a white head. Aroma of bread, butter, grapefruit, lemon juice and lime zest. Taste of hay, lemon juice, lychee, grass and some pine. Sour with a moderate bitterness. Not bad, but I'm kinda sure that sour IPAs/pale ales are not my favs.
