Aug 18, 2008 Had this in both fresh and cask conditioned.
The fresh had a deep, rich flavor, with less hops than the regular IPA. Great balance between hops and malt. finishes dry. Best beer in the place.
The cask ale was flat, with less body than fresh. I’d dock 3 points from overall and 2 from flavor and palate.

Jul 22, 2005 July 2005 seasonal tap. Unfiltered copper color, bright. Nice light toasty flavor, sweet oranges. Decent bitterness, but a fresh or gritty flavor, a little plain, though. Too sweet. A little bit of a stanky weed and other sweet note. Strange almost.

Aug 16, 2004 RBSG 2004, on tap at the brewpub: Clear orange with a diminishing small white head. Pine in the aroma, medium body, watery texture, starts and ends lightly bitter. Not as good as the Sunny Day IPA that they had.
