3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 badmansam (57) - Greater London, ENGLAND - MAR 11, 2013
Keg @ Jolly Butchers 2013/3/11. Medium carbonation. Big body. Burnt orange and toffee throughout. Big flavours but overly sweet. Not balanced and relatively little hops as a result. Disappointing for one of my favourite British breweries but a decent enough IPA. Imagine it would be very sickly in cask.

330ml bottle from BeerRitz, Leeds. Hazy orange amber colour, very frothy & foamy white head and aroma of tropical fruits, citrus hop and a yeasty note. Taste is caramel with a burnt biscuity edge & fruity grapefruit citrus hop, along with a mellow dry bitterness which lingers. Medium bodied and well carbonated. Quite OK.

Medium sweet flavor, a bit of dank pine, smoked beechwood, orange, tangerine. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly resinous finish, slight hints of warmth, white wood, pine, grass, grapefruit, orange. Not overly bitter at any point, which is great. Good balance overall, with a good dank hop edge. Lovely.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 Desverger (434) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - JAN 4, 2013
(cask@Ravensbourne Arms) Hazy amber/orange with a good medium white head. Aroma/taste is citrus tropical notes, mineral malt and pine, and does mask the alcohol level well even though you do get a strong boozy bitter finish. Very satisfying. Really liked this.

On cask at the Cask, Pimlico - 07/08/12. Pours to a slightly cloudy golden hue with a minimal white to off-white head which soon thinned to the edge. Sweet malts, sugar, caramel and ripe fruit on the nose and a dose of booze!
Medium bodied with peachy and farmyard flavours, apples, and a hint of mango or bigger citrus fruit in there.
Bittersweet dry finish and another kick of booze in the afters!
Didn’t dig this one!
