Draft - Nitrogen Pour. This gave the beer a creamy bitter flavor. An enjoyable beer with modest malt character and flavor.

On tap at MacGregors. Orange/amber color with tap head of white cream. Very different aroma and flavor. Lots of tastey malt and just a tough of bitterness at the finish. Quite enjoyable.

(draft @ The Old Toad - Rochester, NY) Light amber in color with a thick white head. Aroma has a nice hop nose to it which is shadowing a slightly sweet malt aroma at the end. Flavor is very balanced. Begins with a nice hoppy and bitter flavor that moves to a smooth and sweet malt middle. Aftertaste is a little bitter and a tad watery.

(Can 50 cl) Clear amber basically without any head. Very lovely hoppy aroma and a bitter finish. Completely dominated by great aroma hops and a prime example of the fact that good beers don’t necessarily have to be big beers. 050602
