Firestone Walker Unfiltered Double Barrel

On cask at Blue Palms, this was very bland in flavor, not my favorite. No bitterness or maltiness

Hazy orange with a fizzy white head. Faint malty aroma and a crisp citrus taste.

On tap. Hazy amber golden with an off-white head. Sweetish caramel in the nose. Medium body, soft mouthfeel and some caramel. Light woody accents appear late. No real bitterness. 090709

From tap at the brewery. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Fruity, wooden and vanilla aroma mixed with caramel malty notes. Fruity and wooden flavoured mixed with a caramel malt base. Mild bitter and malty flavoured finish.

Growler shared by Odeed. Nose of caramel, light floral hops, and some oaky vanilla. Light hazy copper-orange with a small, off white, glass lacing head. Flavor is light bitterness, vanilla, a caramel note, and light fruitiness.

orange body with a nice white head.heavy malt flavor and aroma with hints of hops,oak and slight fruit.nice full bodied malty pale ale.

Tap at the Paso Robles brewery. Very nice murky golden color. Smelled very fresh and clean. Crisp snappy flavor, this is how a pale ale should be.

Draught at the brewery tasting room. A touch lighter amber than the regular double barrel, smooth malty aroma with some oak and spicy hops. The flavor has way more oak and some vanilla. Smooth and balanced feel in the mouth. The bartender said that this version is 100% the oak fermented portion that is blended into the normal version, and I think that the extra character and smoothness that this brings sets it above. It’s too bad that they don’t have the capacity to bottle this.
