Commercial Description:
Bittersweet Pull Chain is a solid, hoppy American ale built with Cascade hops and balanced with choice British East Kent Goldings. It is also made with brown sugar to make it significantly sweeter than the standard Pull Chain Pail Ale. In cask only.

clear dark gold, fine white head, streaky lace, light sweet citrus aroma, creamy body, lots of citrus hop flavor that goes great with the creamy body to deliver waves of hop flavor, sweet caramel malt provides a nice base to support and balance the hops, light bitterness stays out of the way and provides a nice finish,

Hand-pull. Hazy brown body, frothy white head. Bitter aroma - cinnamon, grapefruit rind over brown sugary malt. Caramel-sweet malt plus brown sugar residualsalogn with some roasty special B-ish malt make up the sweet underbelly of the flavor. Over that is tart leafy hops (EKG). I don’t enjoy the tart hops plus roast over the over-sweet background. Leafy, bitter finish. OK hop belch, however.

Pours to a hazy copper body with a foamy and dense off-white head. The flavor is pretty bitter with a lot of strawberry leaf hops, sweet graham cracker malt. Sweet dark sugary taste lingers on the tongue. The aroma has some pine/citrus hops. Very similar to the regular pull chain but less bitter and lots sweeter. The palate is easier drinking too. Not as resiny and a touch more refreshing.
