Slightly cloudy dark gold color with lace. Very fruity citrus aroma; nice hops. Not very fragrant, but nice. Light malt flavor, fragrant grassy hops, pine, reasonably bitter finish. This alone of the cask beers was better than the keg version, which was very cardboardy.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 25, 2009 I started my drinking sessions at the Great British Beer Festival 2009 with three IPAs from USA. All of them were served in a one-third pint glass from gravicask at USA & Rest of the World Bar provided by Bièrs Sans Frontières. This one had a remarkably clear, golden-amber body with a bubbly ring around the rim of the glass. Plain and pleasant hoppy to the nose. Initial taste of fruity hops followed by notes of pine-resin developing towards a fairly dry bitter finish. Rounded mouthfeel. Typical for the style, I would say (GBBF, Earls Court, London 04.08.2009). Magicdave6 (5558), London, Greater London, England
