Apr 27, 2008 On tap. Pours a cloudy golden with frothy white head. Aroma is a bready, grassy and soft with a little hops. Very nice. Flavor is yeasy, bready and a little citrus. Finishes bitter. Rather thin body, but this is a good session beer. Get the "tower".

Apr 15, 2008 On cask with Amarillo hops at the brewpub.. Lightly butterscotch nose. Some weird caramels. Hmmm. Pours a mid-copper, lightly hazed with a gold fringe and rim of silky white. Flavor falls mostly flat. A dead sugary mess. Some bright, penny-like english hops, a wash of biscuit, and sweet honey. Cask isn’t keeping this one alive tonight. More butterscotch, a touch of toffee and stale tea. Too sticky and flat. Just too flat, even for a cask beer. Oaky. Hops glow a little more interesting in the back, but this beer is not well built. Nothing I’d want to quaff much of. English yeasts dapple in a bit of character building esters, but it’s too late. I’m already dis-interested.

Dec 9, 2007 Cask at GBBF 2007. A hazy dark golden beer with a bubbly orange head. The aroma is sweet hoppy which gives it notes of grass, as well as with notes of alcohol and yeast. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of yeast and oranges, leading to a quite bitter finish. The body is thin.
