Miver (547), WillowStreet, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 26, 2009 cask selection at the brewpub. Poured copper in color with a thin beige head. Aroma of earthy hops and some pine. Tastes of floral, bitter earthy hops. Not really a huge fan of British style IPA’s. joshwilfong (769), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Mar 28, 2009 brown with mild white head. mild hop aroma. flavor of bitterness with some nobel hop flavor and finishes witha crisp malt sweetness that has some oakiness/smokiness. a style that is not attempted enough and a nice version adrian910ss (1394), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 15, 2009 On cask at the brewpub. Pours a dark caramel amber with a medium oft white creamy beige head. Aroma of tangy citrus, grassy notes and bitter hops. Taste of watery tangy citrus, bitter hops with a strong grassy presence. Rciesla (3500), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA Mar 11, 2009 Draft at Otto’s. Pours an amber body with a white head. Nice pine, grapefruit, floral citrus. Some sweetness but still hoppy and enjoyable. miketd (679), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Mar 1, 2009 Cask at Otto’s. Pours dark copper with a big whitish head. Nice aroma of earthy hops and sweet malt. Flavor is subtle hops and nicely balanced. CharlesDarwin (1822), Point Judith, Rhode Island, USA Feb 19, 2009 On cask at Zeno’s Pub. Pours a heavily hazed amber-orange, with a cream, soap up above. Punchy orange and citrus nose, lightly sweet with a bit of plum sugar. Flavor is lightly nutty, then heavy with some real catty and doggy hop character. Muddled. There’s a wide-ranging spice and some cask-yeast about. Salty. A bit of nice oakiness in the back end. Seemingly classic by British standards, but definitely not my favorite. Kind of all over the map and a bit unclean in the hop character. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Name: Arthur’s India Pale Ale

illinismitty (1790), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Jul 30, 2007 Cask at brewpub. Pours orange amber with an eggshell head. Nice floral hop and fruity aroma. Medium bodied but with a British like texture and soft carbonation. Flavor of toffee, caramel, and tea that transitions to a spicy hop middle. Not much residual sweetness/ Finish is dry and lasting. I prefer a bit more sweetness to balance things out, but otherwise this was pretty solid.
