Cask at Croydon Craft Beer Fest as coldharbour he’ll yeah 5.4%. It pours lightly hazy gold with minimal head. The nose is soft, fresh, cracker, toasty grass, bread, cereal and just a touch of sweetness. The taste is bitter - sweet, rather grassy, bready maltage, white sugars, corn bread and some lemon with a dry finish. Medium body and soft/low carbonation. Could be done with a touch more carbonation. Decent nonetheless.

English style IPA with thick, creamy, off-white head and hazy brownish amber colour, of the darker hue often distinguishing classic English IPAs from their modern American offspring. Pleasant aroma of strawberry, flowers, biscuit, peach, some caramel. Soft fruity taste with a peachy touch to it, some smooth caramel sweetishness lingering in the finish where it is accompanied by a gentle, noble, floral hop bitterness. Decent, albeit not the most exciting example of the (sub)style.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from the Beer Hive in Brixton. Pours clear, pale yellow, wildly effervescent with a billowing, foamy white head. The aroma has notes of flaked wheat, lemon pith, dry smoke and minerals. Light sweet flavor with more pale, dry wheat, sandy minerality, light astringency, faint lemon meringue. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Drying on the finish with nips of doughy wheat, more wheat flakes, mild chlorine, subtle lemon citrus notes, bitter grass, touches of plastic and ash. There seem to be some phenolic off notes here, unfortunately. This one could do with a bit of tweaking.
