Five Points Pale
Cask, Keg & Bottle: Regular.
Previously a trial brew now regular.
There have been dry hopped limited editions: with Citra in 2013, with Galaxy in 2014, and with Simcoe in 2014
Hops: Centennial, Citra
A fresh, zesty, aromatic pale ale brewed with malted barley, a little wheat, and Amarillo, Centennial and Citra hops from the West Coast of the USA. The British ale tradition collides head first with the best of the US craft beer movement, resulting in an incredibly drinkable Pale Ale with tonnes of US hop aroma and flavour.

Cask @ Gallows bird, real ale festival 2019.
Poured clear golden color.
Grainy, malty, grassy, hoppy aroma.

(Cask at Gallows Bird Real Ale Festival 2019) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, creamy and pine. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness sweetness, pine, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A pleasant hoppy pale ale.

The Woods
Bottle in pizza restaurant in London. This place is dark so hard to get a good gander but looks like a beer should. Aroma is citrus pine hop. Hop forward taste - loads of orange zest and some pine. Decent malt backbone and orange finish. I am not a hop head so not my favorite style but decent.

Tap at CR. Hazy golden body, white head. Dry, just vaguely herbal aroma. Some peach, but dumbed down... Seems this isn't precisely new. Taste... Grainy, rough notes mixing with herbal bitterness, lasting bitter finish. Socks. Little appeal. Will rerate ASAP, this is old.
