Hazy, brown orange body with a quick bubbly off-white head. Hoppy bitter floral yeast flavour has hints of wood nymph. Medium body is a little bitter. A little rough but otherwise fair.

Aroma of biscuit malt, slightly tart fruit and biscuit malt. Taste - mostly malt, dry, somewhat floral bitterness to balance. Thick body, a tad still, had a slightly herbal/bitter aftertaste.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 11, 2009 2009-04-05. Orangey dark amber body, near headless. Interesting hoppy aroma is earthy and resiny, light yeasty undertones. (6+) Flavour has a very earthy leafy quality to the hops, malt base has a light dusty malt/caramel note. Lingering bitterness in the finish. (6+) Average plus body is nice for a cask but is under carbonated. Decent, but I would have liked just a touch more oomph and citrus from the hops.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 5, 2009 Brewed for Ontario IPA Cask Challenge at Volo’s. Enjoyed with the brewer. Nothing special in aroma, it looked fine with bubbly cask head on golden body. A good bitterness, although they would have liked it to sit another couple days, but a challenge is a challenge.
