On cask at the brewpub. Aroma presents a dead caramel malt aroma. Pours in a nice, cascading caramel, lightly hazy. Flavor is a mess. Isovaleric, cheese and dead yeast. Not a good flavor. There’s not nearly enough hop flavor and way too little bitterness. This is not enjoyable. Wet, buttery, and dead-tasting. The palate holds up in the cask form, but doesn ’t matter, since the flavor is kind of icky. Finishes in some raisins, dust and grass. Not well done.

I had this one as part of the sampler and really liked part, probably in part due to the contrast of the other beers offered. Yellow-orange color with almost no head when I got it. Aroma of citrus hops and flavor of citrus and hops with light malt body. Really smooth.

Draft sample and pint at LB brewpub. Poured a hazy copper/orange color with an average fizzy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate floral sour citrus hop aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. This is a drinkable brew.

Cask sampler at LBC Slightly orangey hop flavor actually works well against the light carbonation of this cask pour. IPA character is not overwhelming, instead it’s a bit sweet and chewy, something like a caramel. Later on, there’s a more pronounced citrus and pineapple hop note.

Orange/amber with nice hoppy nose. Caramel maltiness is faint. This would be a lot better with more malt presence because the hops is citrusy and bitter at the finish. Thin body.
