Cask at Craft Beer Co, London on 31st October 2012. Hazy copper with lasting off-white head and lace. Rich herby aroma and plenty of grassy and leafy hop in-mouth.. Fruity citrus present at front-of-mouth. This lasts into a rich but delicately balanced finish of gass and grapefruit. Smooth yet engaging mouthfeel and medium body.

Cask handpull at Craft. Deep clear old gold colour thin off white head. A bit if meaty farty aroma. Better in mouth. Some hop and bitterness on finish. Not the best showcase of chinook. 3.0/5. Re-rate at Flower Pot Maidstone. Better beer. More hoppy. Still a caramel based malty beer with some decent hop especially on finish. Quite bitter too.

Cask at the Craft. Light haze on this gold beer, tidy white head. Palate is a little dry and slightly soft. Mild hop skunk. Decent tangerine - lemon citrus with a little grapefruit. Finishes dry but with juicy citrus. Easy supping fresh ale - just a tad too dry.

Cask at Craft Beer Co, London on 12th September 2012. Gold with thin white film and initial lace. Hoppy and mildly spicy aroma. Grass and grapefruit citrus in-mouth; bitterness develops in finish whilst grapefruit lingers. Although rather on the ’thin’ side for a 4.1 it is nevertheless pleasantly refreshing, with a light body and mouthfeel.
