Draught at the pub. Orange-golden pour with the largest head of the sampler, clingy white and creamy. Also the most robust nose of the sampler, some light yeast and slightly stronger English hops. Taste/body are smooth and creamy with a little too much play from the yeast, and the sinking suspicion that the tap line hasn’t been cleaned recently. Like the hop interplay here.

On tap at the brew pub. Pours a translucent golden amber with no head…on cask. Aroma of iced tea, floral, some toffee and lightly sweet nutty malt. Flavor of hops, some caramel malt, cereal grains, watery and thin. As with some of their other beers…aroma on the light side.

Had on tap at the pu around X-Mas. One of the best brews there. I tried the sampler that had all of the brews available. Pours nice amber color with crisp refreshing flavor. Stood out among the other available beers. Nopt too bad!

Nitrogen at the pub. Redish amber colour with a medium head. Aroma of fruits. Not as creamy as other nitro’s I’ve had. Flavors were malty and dry. Not as bitter as a typical British version and overall a little thinner than I like.

Nitrogen. Pours a kight amber with almost no hrad. Nose is fruity mixed with malts. Flavor continues with fruit(apples), somewhat sweet albeit thin and watery. This was the best beer sampled at this brewpub,
