Cask handpump, The Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks, Thursday 18th October 2012 Pours copper in colour, really steely and metallicy type flavours, is this something to do with the elderflower? I think not, and I don’t consider this metally/tinny twang to be off-putting, interesting but not off-putting. There is a malty and decent bitterness, in fact this is a jolly good bitter and I am really enjoying it. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.5

Cask handpump at The Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks, Thursday 11th October 2012 Pours amber with medium white head, full flavoured but more malty than hoppy. Medium bitterness and drying towards end. Fine enough but don’t exactly agree with all of the description that suggests Golden strong flavoured IPA with a bitter finish. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

Cask handpump at The Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks, Thursday 30th August 2012 Hazy dull very light brown colour with white head. Soft in mouth with a noticeable sweetness and lengthy fruity tang. Decent beer, though I do not really get the zesty bitterness as the description suggests, in fact without the pumpclip and description, I may well have struggled to identify the style.
