3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask at Craft Beer Co, Islington, London. A golden/amber coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, tropical fruit aroma. Tastes hoppy, citrus/tropical fruit. Not what I would call an Imperial IPA, more like a beefed up IPA. Decent stuff though.

3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
From a bottle, nice bottle with a swing top head, a bit flat when poured, no head, thin lacing, little carbonation, aroma is very pleasant, grapefruit, lemon, orange flavours, a caramel, bready malt backbone. Alcohol is very well hidden, it’’s very nice, but for me it’s too flat and there is little bitterness. The flavours, however, are very nice

Cask at The Anderson. Light, hoppy number. A weird hint of ’black jack’ sweetie taste? Very tasty.

4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Fancy 750ml bottle from Great Grog. Been saving this one for a special occasion. Why not Christmas Day? Rich golden amber colour, good head. Aroma of tropical & citrus fruits, resin & biscuit. Dry hoppy citrus fruit flavour. Dry citrus aftertaste. More a big strong golden ale rather than a double IPA but none the worse for that.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Half pint, shared with Finn, cask at Craft Beer Co, Clerkenwell. Clear copper coloured body. Near-naked surface. Malt-fruity aroma. Lots of citrus in the taste character supported by honey sweetness and followed by a lingering bitter tail. Delightful (London, 01.11.2012).
