Okells Dr Okells IPA (Cask)

Cask at The Royal Blenheim, Oxford 24-08-09 Pours gold in colour but throwing a slight haze, white head. Touch metallicy on the nose, in fact not a great aroma. Tastewise not really my thing, bit tangy and fruity, but I get the slight tinny quality that came through on the nose, not much in way of hops or bitterness, think that I was the only one around the table who was totally underwhelmed by this.

Half pint, hand pulled at Tomas Rigbys in Liverpool. Almost clear golden. Massive laceworks gradually disappearing. Floral-fruity to the nose. Fresh fruity taste with peaches added a spicy touch. Satisfying bitter ending. Easy to drink (04.05.2009).

<i>Gravity at The Wharf, Aalborg</i>
Hazy golden color; sparse bubbles. The aroma is lightly fruity. The body is incredibly light, like a 3.5% ABV, with light toffee flavor and decent hopping, giving both a delicate flowery and fruity touch, light citrus touch too. The final is pleasant and long, the bitterness reminds bitter oranges. It’s a kind of delicate Ale, pleasant and refreshing.
