HogTownHarry	4.1 Old Pie Factory I.Pie.A September 19, 2018 - at Exmouth Arms - on handpull cask. Slightly hazy deep gold with a beautiful dappled, lasting solid off-white head (4+). Another IPA which is more a dry extra bitter classic golden ale aroma - light fresh grain, hint of fruity sweetness, some alcohol. Taste follows right on - but has some heavy funky alpha acidity, this isn't trying to be a new world IPA at all - really builds up the massive coating bitterness, no residual sweetness at all - great! Chew, astringent and bitter as hell, long pithy/alpha coating finish (marigold!) and it stays there for ages - well done, who cares if it has mild carbonation - a LITERAL eye-opener; I will watch for their stuff in the future, one of the best of my trip.

Thin white head. Light bitter with a sweet streak. Medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Long low key finish.

The_Osprey	3.7 Old Pie Factory Humble Pie Nov 2018 - Cask handpull at the Draft House Hammersmith as Old Pie Factory Humble Pie. Pours the darkest amber orange, pretty much translucent brown with a foamy ring of brown head. Aroma is custard on chocolate cake, bready, toasted teacake, quite nice and dessert-like. Body is light with soft carbonation. Taste is bready, teacake, toast with the slightest marmalade, chocolatey roast and slight apple. Very drinkable and enjoyable. I thought this was impressive for a bitter - full and complex chocolatey flavours. (7-4-7-4-15=3.7) Thursday, November 8, 2018
