Pour like a JHB but with more head. Aroma is very hoppy with lots of citrics undertones. Taste is the same. A very good beer. A

Half pint at the brewpub: Poured a clear yellow with a fizzy white head. Mild pine aroma. The flavor is similar to all the other beers I had here with mild pine and citrus notes. One doesn’t distinguish itself from the others. Watery finish. Nothing special.

Gravicask at the Lower Red Lion beer fest, St. Albans. Handpulled cask at JDW Watford and JDW Hatch End Harrow. I just can’t get enough of this beer! Pale yellow with a lasting white head. Fantastic hop aroma and flavour. Luscious citrussy bitterness. I can’t believe a beer brewed with only english hops can taste like this! Superb!

courtesy of Laurent Mousson - clear and pale golden colour, little foam; hoppy and grapefruity aroma; high carbonation and a solid malt body, very bitter and dry; long hoppy and fruity finish - very good

Cask at The Market Porter, London. Fruity, perhaps grapefruity, aroma. Gold color with a white head. Sharp fruit, even grapefruit, flavor with very light malt. Finishes rather bitter. Rather dry. Very good. A bit unusual.

Hoppy, light citrus and field grass, and sweet. Light malt, a bit bready. Pretty good, but strong... more hop than I would be accustomed to. (On Tap - 02/2008 - Pizza Paradiso)

Cask, Charters, Peterborough. Dark gold latticed with white. Can’t quite match the Inferno for silky hop loveliness. Mandarin/grapefruit zest and flat lemonade tang. Hop spikiness mellowed with bready pale malt. One to revisit sober..(Re-rate, sober, Beduff ’Spoons, of all places)...Grapefruit and vanilla milkshake palate. Sweetish mandarin citrus, earthy fibrous N.American hints, trace of peanut. Dangerous, juicy, humming with hops and pretty near perfect.

Cask at the King Billy, Sneinton, Nottingham. A lovely golden beer with aromas of hops, citrus and grass. The flavour is mostly citrus and bitterness with a touch of spice. I’ve had this beer many times and I really enjoy it. Most people prefer JHB to this one but I like the heftier flavours. If only the ABV were lower it would be good contender for a session beer.
