Cask (gravity) @ The 16th Reading Beer and Cider Festival 2010, Reading, Berkshire England.

Clear medium amber orange color with a average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate malty, moderate to light heavy hoppy, fruity, lemon, pine, blood orange, blood grapefruit. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. [20100430]

[Gravity cask at Reading BF] Amber-gold, slight fizz. Tastes of fresh oranges, with slight pine notes, something tropical and a bit of earth in the finish. Nice and light and refreshing. It’s a pleasant enough little beer, but much thinner and lighter and less bitter than I expected.

Cask. Golden coloured ale with slight head. Hoppy aroma and taste but still clearly an English ale. Best I have had from Red Squirrel.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Malt Shovel Northampton A golden beer with a whitish ring of bubbles. A nice piney hop aroma follows through to the excellent bitter hoppy taste. Excellent British IPA. Very tasty and well brewed

Cask in the whole hog. I managed to get to have this every day for a week! Aroma is Wow super american hops, citrusy, piney hop resin, decent malt backing. Taste is similar, very bitterin in the finish. Its awsome such a great beer, one of the best cask ales in Britian.

Cask handpull at Market Porter, London. Gold with thin beige head. Oh, yes, lovely US accented hop aroma, some choc too. Hops are leafy, some resin, a little earthy, but this stinging lychee finish is just excellent. Good condition. Choccy earthiness runs through it, but that finish is just so great for a UK beer.
