Poured deep amber with eggshell white head. Plenty of lace. Sweet and malty with plenty of resinous pine and grapefruit flavor. Nice IPA. mattvervack (20), Atlanta, Georgia, USA May 26, 2009 At least I assume I have the right IPA. It was on cask at the brewery, and the beertender told me it was the normal IPA with minor additions when it is casked. I am rating it high because it is the best cask ale I have had in the US. I miss the heck out of real ale and this guy is really trying to get it right, and coming very close.
