Dec 9, 2008 Cask at Cole’s/Mr. Goodbar Cask Fest.
Aroma is wet, leafy hops, a fine malt reveals itself too, hazy amber. Taste has a fresh fruity compliment to the leafy hops and malt. Light bodied, excellent balance, completely easy to drink. As good a session ale as I’ve had in a long time.

Nov 20, 2008 Hand-pumped at the Wenlock arms in northern London.
Pours a clear golden amber color with a frothy white head. Subtle hop aroma with slight pilsner malt presence. This is a very smooth drinkng beer. It is kind of watred down yet has a creamy characteristic with nice subtle soft hops. Crispy, refreshing nice dry finish but not very bitter.

Sep 22, 2008 on cask @ Wenlock Arms (London). I walked in, checked the badges, and "HOPHEAD" seemed picked out in neon - hel-LO! Slightly hazy light gold pour with an average creamy white lasting head. Very light aroma, but solidly herbal-hoppy backed by slightly sweet oily grain malt. The taste - the same, even more bitter than I expected, and decently acidic - it went down very smoothly; and quickly. The mouthfeel was oily and a touch light, moderately astringent over a soft, verly lightly carbonated base - the herbal hoppiness carries through into a welcome linger - this really takes its time finishing.

Sep 8, 2008 Cask, 4.8% at GBBF08. Weak hop aroma. Almost clear golden colour. Small stable white head. OK grassy hop flavour. The bitterness is a little rough. Not that hoppy, and not that good.

Sep 5, 2008 Cask (Guide Dog,Southampton) - Golden in colour. An incredibly enticing hoppy aroma with some grapefruit notes and a twist of lemon. Bitter and hoppy taste with tangy grapefruit and a lovely hoppy finish. Excellent, so much flavour for the strength. A superb beer.

Aug 16, 2008 Cask at The Butchers Arms, Herne: Clear golden yellow looking pint. Floral aroma with a little hop and citrus. This must be one of the most refreshing beers there is, so light and hoppy. Just a stunning beer really.
