Keg at London Beer House. It pours lightly hazy golden - amber with a tiny white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, big grapefruit vibe, orange, bubblegum and lemonade. The taste is dry, bitter, pithy, zesty, grapefruit, lime, lemongrass, toasty grain, touch of soap, floral action and grain. Finish is lingering bitterness and grapefruit peel. Decent enough grapefruit hoppy number. Aroma is more expressive than the taste though.

Cask gravity at Croydon Crafty Fest. It pours clear amber with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, jasmine, grapefruit, spice, leather and wood. The taste is dry, bitter, oily, resin, sticky, big jasmine character, very floral, spice and leather with a drying finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Pretty unique. Not 100% sold on the balance though.

The taste is rather bitter upfront, quite raw, firm dryness, woody, pine, resin, zesty grapefruit, soap and spice with a drying finish. Light body and soft carbonation. Slightly oily. Maybe too bitter for the body.

Cask gravity at Croydon Craft Festival. It pours hazy deep gold with a small white head. The aroma is sorachi ace fennel, aniseed, bubblegum, candy and lemonade. The taste is dry, bitter, herbal sorachi ace character, soapy citrus, straw, grass, waxy citrus with a drying and soapy finish. Medium body and fine. Sorachi act plays far too big a part of this beer. Really, really doesn’t work for me.
