Handpull cask at the Fat Boar, Mold. Slightly orangeish gold, clear, eith a small uneven film of white head. Light aroma of pink grapefruit, slightly soapy. Struggling a little with the taste, it's got the nice hoppy Citra character but the soapiness has increased here. Bitter finish. Medium body, soft carbonation. Balance issues obscure the more positive elements of this beer.

Cask at The Albion, Conwy. Clear chestnut. Thick foamy off-white head. Aroma has grains, chewy malts.. develops tangy berry sourness. Flavourwise it's initially tangy. Followed by chewybmalts before a veg element seeps through. Light-medium bodied..Soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Pleasent but ultimately a twiggy bitter.

Cask at The Albion, Conwy. Clear dark gold. Thin foamy white head. Aroma has light fruit and a hint of bitterness but ultimately fails to leave an impression. Flavourwise it is woody, slightly herbal and has peripheral citrus. Gains sweet citrus. Underlying dusty malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Old school IPA aka a hoppy Gold. Poor show. My score is overly generous.
