Had this cask, gravity at Hop Pole, Aylesbury (shop), Thursday 6th November 2014 Pours dark brown a few bubbles skitter across the top. Fruity, mostly autumnal hedgerow fruits but also with a hoppy bite and a light seam of roastiness. Fine but like Glen I am unsure what this is setting out to be, whilst its definately got a hoppiness it doesn’t really feel like a BIPA, in fact the young chap who served me informed it was a porter.

Had this cask, gravity at Hop Pole, Aylesbury (shop), Thursday 18th September 2014 Amber or maybe warm gold as I recall with a scattrring of white bubbles. Hops on nose. Bitterness strikes through straight away, not harsh but quite pushy. Pleasant APA, easy drinking for the abv, fruity. Liked it. A6 A3 T7 P3 Ov14 3.4
