Handpull @ several ’Sporks...Personally, this is exactly what I want when I walk into a pub. Pale gold with a thin to fluffy white head (depending on where). Quite a fresh citric hop burst in the nose falling back on a pale malt base, which I prefer over caramalt sessionably. Taste is bittersweet with lot’s of fruit, almost like biting into a fruit salad chew, pineapple and citrus hops and a pale malt character to back it up which ticks all the boxes for me. There’s such a fine line between over hopped and under balanced but this seems to work just fine for my taste.

Nov 19, 2009 Cask handpump, The Penny Black, JDW, Bicester, Oxon-18-11-09 Pours warm gold in colour with a white head, there is a hint of haze to this, barmaid really struggled pulling this one through it appeared very, very lively. Nice citrussy hoppy aroma. Taste has a pushy citrus (grapefruit) hoppiness about it with a nice layer of sweet malts to balance things out, brisk and breezy sort of beer, you’re sort of expecting it to be more hoppy and zappy than it is, but its actually a very drinkable sessionable hoppy beer., leading to a few hoppy burps. The festival is over but there are still a few festival beers on offer and this much like the others on offer this evening is just £1.39 with my a CAMRA 50p off token. A7 A4 F8 P4 Ov15 3.7

Nov 9, 2009 JDW Rochester. Soft malt with a varied and slightly muddled hop top. Hops grab too much attention with no clarity. A lot of noise for little signal.

Nov 5, 2009 Cask at the Babington Arms (JDW), Derby. Amber with a low, dense, off-white head,leaving lots of lacing; aroma of pine resin; silky smooth in the mouth and full of resinous hops; short well-hopped bitter finish, leaving a pine resin aftertaste. In one word - piney - if that’s a word!
