Cask at the Red Lion Inn, Cricklade, Wiltshire, Saturday 5th July 2014 A wonderful tropical nose heralds the arrival of this beer, you really smell it before its got anywhere near your chops. Pours hazy golden in colour. Quite soft in the mouth it is hoppy but those tropical hops are failing to have quite the same impact in the mouth as they did on the nose. Still this is a fruity (tropical) hoppy, tasty beer, I like it. A8 A4 T7 P3 Ov14 3.6

Bottle at the Red Lion Inn, Cricklade, Wiltshire, Saturday 5th July 2014 Busy carbonation but another good looker in the glass, it is golden with a nice clean white head and it is really crystal clear. I get the Thai touches in this beer, they are clearly there though quite subtle and integrated very well. It is also a touch yeasty, saison yeast I would expect which is adding a little spiciness to proceedings, a little sweet but a nice beer. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3

Cask at the Red Lion Inn, Cricklade, Wiltshire, Saturday 5th July 2014 Good looking beer, gold in colour with excellent clarity and a slin white head. A little furry bitterness envelopes the tongue and stays for a little while. Zippy, zappy in mouth, bittersweet, crisp, fruity and with a dry finish a good beer. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4

Draft House Tower Bridge. Cask. Almost clear pale gold beer, tidy white head. Palate is smooth and dry with mild fine carbonation. Very light pale malts. Hops are light pithy orange, touch of spice, very light tropical fruits. A slight grassy dryness. Smooth semi dry finish. Not bad at all.
