Cask at Waterloo. It pours clear golden with a medium white cap. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, floral, orange peel, tangerine and bready malts. The taste is crisp, dry, tangerine, kumquat, orange blossom, pithy, peppery spice, straw, grass and light tannin with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Decent stuff.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up at Borough Wines, Wilton Way. Pours clear copper-ruby, lightly effervescent, with a small, foamy off-white head. Overall it's pretty nice, good bit of toasted grainy bread, mellow leafy bitterness, some earthy hops, dried orange peel. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Well balanced finish, touches of berries, brown bread, more relaxed leafy bitterness, impressions of British yeast. Sound.

On tap at The Harp in London. Amber bright color with a tick amberish foam. Nose: nut skin, green pistachios. Mouth: easy start, thin malty body, bitter and a bit tart finish. I would have appreciated a bit less bitterness in this one, otherwise a good one.
