Cask at the Queens Vaults. Copper colored pour, head fades to spots. Light toasty malt aroma with a bit of cannibas dank. Taste comes in sweet, caramel, with a tingle at the back and more of the funky herbal notes.

Bottle at the IP2 bottle share, from The Breacon Tap, Brecon. Pours hazy gold with a small white head and visibly gassy. Aroma of hop, caramel, fruit and floral notes. Medium sweetness, light bitterness. Medium body, slight oily and watery texture, highly carbonated. Rather spolied by the fizziness.

42nd floor beer share. Thanks to Wingman. Hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and fairly dry, modest fine carbonation. Thin malts, thin malt cream. Ginger cake and cinnamon, also thin and not sweet. Dry finish. Too thin and dry but it’s not terrible.

500ml bottle conditioned: BBE Jan 2018. Poured into a Gwaun Valley Brewery badged pint sleeve glass to make it feel at home on 30th June 2017. Light amber pour, mini-haze to the body, off-white uneven blanket of foam for a head. Nose has a slight citrusy/grapefruity aroma, taste is citrus hops all the way. Grapefruit flavours dominate the brew from start to finish. Dry and hoppy, it’s OK.

Bottle split at L42 thanks to Dave, 14/06/17. Copper pour with a moderate off white head that soon vanishes. Nose is ginger, spice, grains, light brown bread. Taste comprises furit loaf, grains, ginger, spice, twiggy, light fruit esters. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, drying close. Rubbish.
