Cask at The Cove, London: Poured through a very tight sparkler. Quite a creamy bitter with plenty of malt as well. Very refreshing but not terribly exciting.

Jan 2, 2009 Cask at the Railway, Putney, "Mopping up the Spoons fest", 15th Nov 08. A truly great British bitter, even better on cask. Golden amber with a little frothy head. Tastes of dry citrus hops - lots of grapefruit. Nose is rather restrained but it lets rip once on the tongue.

Dec 22, 2008 Served cask at Charlies in Copenhagen. Pours a strax and bright moisty yellow. The nose is faint with bitter citrus notes. The tasty is dominated of the american hops that in the finish is nice and very bitter - beside that there is not enough body to back up the hoppyness. The palate is rather waterish and tipically british - but thumps up for the hops.

Dec 7, 2008 Handpulled cask at JDW Watford. Gold with a healthy white head. Good citric hop bite and juicy balancing malt. Very good for an old english regional.

Nov 30, 2008 Cask at the Roebuck, Nottingham. This pale ale unsurprisingly features aromas and flavours of citrus and soft fruit. I enjoy the American hops. It is very hoppy for its strength but somewhat unbalanced; it’s not quite as good as Dark Star’s APA or some of the better ones from America, like 3F Alpha King or Piece Full Frontal.
