Cask @ Fox & Goose, Hebden Bridge. Clear golden with a thin head. It's a pronounced hoppy ale and fairly dry tasting. Has a clean fuller bodied texture.

Bottle. Bier Huis, Ossett. Super hazy, old gold. Thin, dense, lacing, lasting, white head. Nose has proper marmalade. Plummy esters. Soft, floral herb. Creamy vanilla malt. Taste is sweet and fruity. Some light estery bitterness. Smooth and fairly robust mouthfeel. Soft carbonation. Nice fresh hop here. Finish is well balanced sweet, and fruity bitter. Solid UK IPA.

Cask @ Drink? Hebden Bridge. Dark golden with a head. Has a grainy hoppiness making it quite a gritty tasting brew, but at an easy strength.

Bottle from Drink? Hebden Bridge. Hazy yellow-gold with a bubbly-frothy head. Striking with its gritty hop, which provides some coconut flavours to the ale, within an easy enough textured ale.

Cask ale, half-pint at Bundobust. Next to clear golden body, lacing rings from a firm white head. Moments of leafy hops on the nose. Blended taste of ripe citrus and mild caramel malts. Bittersweet ending. Quite alright, easy to drink. (Manchester 03.05.2018).
