3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask at the Old Gaolhouse (JDW), Winchester. Amber with a tight cream head; muted tropical fruit aroma; the taste is also quite muted with more tropical fruit and some grapefruit; then a sharp, short-lived, grapefruity bitterness, before a return to sweet mango finish. An interesting attempt at the American IPA style, but needing more of everything.

Cask at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green - 14/04/12.
Golden in appearance with a thin white head.
Fruit, sweet malt and a little background hop on the nose.
Flavour brought out the flavours a little more than the nose, citrus hop, buttery and a bitter sweet finish. Distinctly whelming !
