(Cask at Priory Arms, Stockwell, London, 24 Nov) Golden amber colour with small white head. Fruity nose with distinct aromas of citrus, mainly grapefruit. Lots of hops. Fruity taste with notes of grapefruit, pine-needles and a lovely citrussy, hoppy finish. Slightly sweet, but with a lovely hop character. Very nice.

Cask@Black Door, Helsinki. Godlen colour, small white bubbly head. Fruits hops and some wooden hints with hints of some herbs and milder spices. Flavour is caramel, fruity and herbal hops, grass and some slight wooden hints. Maybe not a flavourbomb, but indeed refreshing.

cask at the Maltings: lovely golden colored ale with white head. Strong herbal hoppy aroma. Flavors was nice and biter full of herbal hops. good mouthfeel. refreshing and delicious.

Cask conditioned @ Waterloo Arms, Soton. Light colour. Hoppy aroma - peaches and peppery resin. Slightly sweet malt but this doesnt interfere with the fruity hop middle and piney bitter hop finish. All about hops, bright and refreshing and quite moreish.
