Cask. A nice lasting head from the cask. Mild hop aroma. Taste is of mild caramel, some burnt fruit. A mild dry finish, thin body. A very good session beer.

12 ounce draught glass at the brewpub, mid-October 2006. Lovely off-white medium bubbled head formation and stability atop the bronze, translucent/lightly hazy body.....fresh pungent-hoppy aroma, orange and wet pine and hints of caramel, pretty good at first but abundant heaps of buttered popcorn soon show up, signaling diacetyl in inescapable quantity....body quite dry and woody, fruit not much in evidence, big resiny character, tarry and very, very dry and acrid at the finish....this has potential but the infection really poisons the nose and crushes the sweetness and body out of the flavor. Well, phooey.

Growler ala a roommate of old. Thanks Dan! Dark amber to copper color with a few bubbles adrift. Caramel, lightly toasted nuts, with a dry floral backdrop. LIght malt sweetness in the front. Mild toasted nuts and lead to a firm bitterness in the finish and linger. I’d consider this a bitter verses an APA, but perhaps the nitro and growler are working against this one. The long linger returns to a mild floor malt quality that is quite nice. Yes I could sit ans watch a good football/soccer game with this one.

dark copper pour no real head. Nice light carmel malt aroma touch of grass & grapefruit. Palate is very thin. Flavor is grassy extremly light tons of watery. So watery.

Transparent and glowing copper in color with a web-clinging head that centers itself nicely. Interesting nose of faded orange skin, marigolds, orange blossom honey, dryer sheets and aged cascade pellets. Curt cardboard is stopped just short for a marmalade bran aromatic precursor. Weak and watery flavor brings forth diluted streams and over-compensated bittering hops. It’s a hard one to digest. Water saturated cardboard with seasonal mum buds teams with withering orange toffee and depleted orange grahams. Orange marmalade and chalky toffee nougats team with aqua and talc in the finish.
