Cask at The Grapes, Oxford, Tuesday 6th May 2014 Pours light amber with some white bubbling. Decently hoppy, crisp refreshing beer with a dadh of grapefruity citrus coming through. Its good, but up against the XT XPA it clearly is found wanting, but don’t be put off it is a very good beer. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov14 3.4

Cask @ Trades Club, Hebden Bridge. Golden with a thick creamy head. It’s dry hopped with a tropical fruity nose. The fruits are also evident in the flavour which leads to a medium-high bitterness.

Bottled. A golden beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of hops, citrus fruits, and spicy hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, spicy hops, and citrus fruits, leading to a biitter finish.

Hand-pulled half-pint in the lovely Bath Ales own ’Grapes’ in Oxford on 22 Nov 13. Orange/amber with an off-white head. Friuty and spicy hop nose and taste, too many hops for me, but I’m still not used to the West Coast of the US style of over hopping (I am trying though). Just a little to bitter for my delicate taste buds. Interesting and worth finding, even if you’re not a hop bomb fan.

Cask at Watford Beer Festival 2013. Poured a clear dark copper colour with a thin white head. Big toffee aroma with some light peat and dark fruits. Good mouth feel. Definite smoked malt, not too overpowering leads to balanced sweet carmel, dates and chewy malt.

Cask-conditioned at the Merchants Arms, Hotwells, Bristol 3/10/2013. Near black, with a hint of red and thin tan head. An easy drinking beer, with some vanilla and plain chocolate upfront, followed by some tangy lactose and a gentle finish with a hint of sweetness. Enjoyable.
