4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Cask at CPK. Pours a clear gold with a slight, white head. Super citrusy hop nose, with grapefruit and some caramel malt. Flavor is very sweet, with strong caramel and honey notes, then orange juice, then hoppy as hell with loads more citrus, along with some mild resin and pine. Medium in body with fine carbonation. Finishes rather sweet, but some citrus bitterness then comes in, and you are left with lingering earthy hops. Very juicy, very drinkable. Really outstanding.

On cask at The Bow Bar. A blonde ale with a decent white head. Aroma of fresh cut green hops, alcohol, pine, pineapple and mango. Similar fresh cut hop flavour again, lovely and resinous with a little candy sugar sweetness. Great juicy hop character with mild carbonation and an oily mouth-feel. Very nicely done.

UPDATED: JAN 5, 2012 Cask at Cloisters. Pale golden, thick perfectly formed white head. Big fresh grassy nose, hint of lemon zest, bready too. Intense juicy hop character, hint of caramel, massive dry mouth-puckering bitter finish. Amazingly quaffable considering the ABV.

Cask at CPK, London on 5th November 2010. Gold-Amber with part-lacing white head. Rich grapefruit, both in aroma and in-mouth. Grassiness abounds. Dry herbiness and grapefruit citrus in finish, on a light-to-smooth mouthfeel. Excellent.

Fizzy gold color. Dense, creamy white head. Plenty of lacing. Big hop aroma. Fresh hops indeed. Malty flavor with a huge hop presence. Slight grassy note, but not overly offensive. Nice finish of malt.

Cask conditioned, gravity poured on a cellar visit, cheers Tom, at The Craft Beer Co. Clerkenwell, Gt. London. Gold with white head. Zesty lime, citrus bitter hopped, sharp and intense, definitely green and a real beauty.

Craft. Almost clear gold beer, tidy white head. Palate is light and crispy and semi dry. Quite a sweet malt base, repressed vanilla and flowers. Nice fresh citrus provides good balance - orange marmalade and grapefruit. Finishes semi dry with mild minerals. Really like the contrast of the sweet base and the fresh bitterish hops. Hugely drinkable. Great stuff!

Cask in Craft Beer Co. Colour is almost clear golden, just a tiny touch of haze. No head. Nose is beautiful deep citrous orange and grapefruit with pine, leafy hops and touch of bubble gum. Taste is crisp grapefruit, bit of orange and finish is zest/peel of grapefruit bitterness/sour.

Massively-hopped IPA. Attractive amber appearance. The nose is aggressive and with grassy hops making themselves known. The taste is very bitter indeed, the bittersweet hop flavor makes you pucker your mouth. It’s nicely complex, and I’m tasting new sem-spiced citrus hop flavors with every sip. The mouthfeel’s lively and forcefuly astringent. This is a big beer, I like it.
