In the glass: orange/gold with a small head, aromas of pine, then citrus and peach in the hops. Nice and bitter.

Nice, smooth, hoppy flavor! jjuf1853 (257), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA Aug 2, 2008 Tried both the cask ale and standard draft varieties at Magnolia Pub and Brewery. This was my first time trying a cask ale and was pleasantly surprised. Both varieties were good but the cask ale had a mellower flavor and a smoother, creamier mouthfeel. Good amount of hops present, but a nice balance with the sweetness from the malts. Vac (2287), San Diego, California, USA Jul 21, 2008 Cask at Hamiltons. Pours with a slightly cloudy, golden amber body topped by a thick head with some lacing left on the glass. It’s grapefruity and slightly piney from the hops with a slightly sweet, malty note and very slight medicinal note. medium bodied, smooth and a touch dry. golubj (1133), Redwood City, California, USA Jul 14, 2008 Hand pump at Toronado. Amber pour with some white head. Aroma is really fresh resiny hops, quite nice, a little grassy and floral. Flavor is the same resinous and piney. These hopped up beers are great when they are fresh like this.
