Cask @ The Tap, Christchurch. Black with no head. Its salted caramel is dominant in this porter, but not overbearing. However, there's little else to be said about it in terms of taste. Its texture is quite thin for its strength.

Cask @ The Tap, Christchurch. Mildly hazed golden brew with a small bubbly head. Its hop gets quite soapy in taste, so not coming across the finest of ales.

Cask @ The Tap, Christchurch. Hazy dirty amber-gold with a head. Fairly watery for its strength but its taste remains decent, with a light tropical aroma and taste, with inoffensive citrus.

Hand-pulled pint in the Bookstore Alehouse, Southampton on 11th June 2022. Hazy amber body, decent off-white head. Jester hops do their thing and dominate the nose and taste with grapefruit esters and flavours to the fore.
