Cask-conditioned at the Cross Hands, Winterbourne Down, S Gloucs 26/7/07. Impressive gold colour with a white head which left lacing all the way down the glass. Aroma was hoppy with some spruce and flowers. As mentioned below, the flavour started with biscuit malt before a very dry finish. Very enjoyable.

UPDATED: JUN 2, 2007 Hand-pulled at the altar. Brilliant gold clarity with a tint of green. Admirably bitter, but far too lean and lagery for the style. A chew of pencil. Licking that freshly polished table again. Too much biscuity malt for an IPA. Very little in the way of lacework. Underwhelming, high quality hoppy lager.

[Cask at The Three Judges] Pale gold colour, medium dense head. Nose is Dominated by hops, floral, pine with some epach notes and some catramel malt in the background. Medium bodied with a good dose of bitterness in the finish.
