2004 CASK. Niceeeeee. I love cask offerings of hoppy beers. It’s like the best of both worlds, you get the smooth creamy, sweet cask conditioning and also a boatload of bitter juicy fresh hops. This wasnt going to win the most complex beer in the world award, but wow was it easy and good to drink. Sweet malt (too sweet unfortunately), creamy velvety texture and a good dose of c hops. Thats all folks! (aroma was lightly hoppy, appearance was copper-gold, huge head, hazy).

Moderate head. Very dark copper. Caramel hop aroma. Caramel and hop, hop, hop flavour. Reminds me of "Red Moon" when I mix Arctic Red and Full Moon.

On tap at Portsmouth Brewing in NH--Rich orange-tawny body with a nice fluffy white head. Superb nose of fresh PNW hops and crisp, full-bodied maltiness. Better than most fresh hops this year in the Northwest. Brewer told us that they next day aired the hops from Washington State. Waves of complex hops flavor. Great great great!

Deep copper in color with a small white head. Aroma was extremely fruity with a mild hop note. Flavor is fruity,hoppy, with a tangy finish.

Bottle in trade from Pastor (joepais) Thanks! Pours a dark amber with a light beige head. Smell is very muted, dull floral hops. Taste is smooth balanced and some hops in the flavor but low bitterness. Medium body and carbonation. Earthy malt and hop flavor. Definitely doesnt have a fresh hop flavor to it in the traditional sense but it is nice and drinkable.

Draught sample at the brewery (Hop Harvest ONE on the chalkboard). A very balanced IPA that didn’t floor you with hops. The hops were definitely citrus in character, more like grapfruit rind. Nice and easy to drink and rather refreshing.

(Draft @ brewpub) Nice fresh hoppy flavor...Medium-dark amber, somewhat cloudy. Very small off-white head. Aroma mostly fruity, a bit flowery with some light caramel. Medium-full mouthfeel. Taste is light-medium bitter, lightly fruity over light caramel. Light lingering bitter aftertaste. Pleasant overall, pretty well-balanced, maybe could stand a touch more maltiness. Currently listed as an IPA here - bartender said it was an amber. My vote based on taste would be for APA.
