3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20Cask @ Hamilton Hall Sporks. Pours pale blonde with a lasting white head, on top form I might add. Nose has sweet pale malts and grassy, citric hops. Taste is much the same, sweet at first then a nice dry citric grassy hop bite in the swallow. Clean and refreshing, a great summer thirst quencher.

On tap at Man in the Moon in Stockholm (during the IPA festival). Fruity smell with hops, melon, fresh and flowery. Taste of British yeast aromas and fruity hops, fresh. Very easy to drink.

Cask at Tanners Hall JDW Darlington. Clear golden amber colour, creamy white head with lots of lacing and a malty sour mash aroma. Taste is malt, biscuit, citrus hops with some bitterness. Smooth, medium body, dry bitter finish. Quite drinkable.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Slightly hazy orange colour, mediumsized beige head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is grassy, herbal, hayish and mild bready maltyness. Flavour is bigtime bitterness with mild yeasty and malty notes along with some grass and mild earthyness as well. Rather bitter finish.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Slightly weak appearance but a fine creamy head hides an extremely hopped ale, especially in its taste.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from beersofeurope.co.uk. Pale yellow/amber with virtually no head. Faint floral, hoppy aroma. Tastes full bodied, very dry and very bitter so it won’t win any prizes for drinkability. Grapefruit, grassy, citrus, just not one ounce of sweetness. It’s like drinking sandpaper but I think I like it - it’s just not quite to my taste.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
50cl bottle poured into a pint glass. Hazy gold with one finger white head. Aroma is grassy hops. A resiny hops flavor that goes slightly sour at the end. A full-bodied ale that leaves a lasting hops finish. Nice.

Pint at the Boathouse in Wylam. Poured slightly hazy golden colour with a grapefruit aroma. Loads of sharp fruit flavour, refreshing, with a pleasantly astringent finish. A truly lovely beer.
