On cask. WOW what a beer. Nice light brown color with amazing head and good lacing. Aroma was nutty malty and some hops in the background. Flavor was solid. Caramel sweetness that wasn’t over done. citrus hops in the aftertaste good way to end the beer for today.

Sorry to all the purists out there who don’t like their beers on nitro, but I love it. This was a beauty, nice deep amber color with some red hues, a very nice pillowy head that laced all the way down, not continuous, but not with rings.... a nice scene, though. The aroma was light caramel malts with some hops. The flavor did not disappoint, great balance of caramel and light bread with a touch of citrus, finishing with a nice bitterness typical of any amber ale. Very well done, full bodied mouthfeel for the style.

Draft at Media. Reddish-copper colored with a 1-finger off-white nitro head. The aroma was of caramel malt, big tobacco, and red winey fruits. The palate was medium in body, with a great silky smoothness and flavors of caramel malt, fruit, cabernet, and some tobacco notes.

Wilmington, nitro tap. Pours a reddish amber body, cascading foam and a creamy nitro head. As per usual, the nitro has killed any aroma that may have been there. Flavor is quite pleasant, a bit nutty, some mild hoppiness, but mostly sweet, smooth malts. Mouthfeel is creamy and smooth, making this mild but very drinkable.

Draft@ Montgomeryville. Pours a nice amber with a good lasting white head. I was plesently surprised the waiter described it as a Killinians style but this had much more. Aroma has a subtle hoppiness and just a freshness to it. Had a dry style to the pallette. Was light to medium body. A decent mouthfeel. I would have favored a stronger finish. Overall a tasty, decent brew.

Poured an amber color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malts, earth, and light citrus. Taste of caramel, toffee, butterscotch, light citrus, with a dry finish.

On nitro in Lancaster. Poured copperish amber in color with a large white frothy head. Aroma of caramel and light hops. Taste was sweet with caramel malts, citrus and floral hops. A little sweet with a bit of a dry finish. Not bad.

West Chester. On nitro. Nothing to smell here. Standard red flavor with a little more hops bite than I expected. Nothing to write home about. Man, I hate nitro.
