Sampled draught at Lucky Baldwin, Pasadena.
Pale amber, clear, no head. Restrained orange arioma. Dry with clean crystal malt profile. Light flavoured with short salty finish. Easy and straight forward session beer with simplistic malt character.

Cask (gravity) @ GBBF 09, Great British Beer Festival, Earls Court Exhibition Centre, London, England.
Clear medium yellow orange color with a small to average, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, hay, toasted, moderate hoppy, fruity. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. [20090804]

Draught at Hop Leaf, Chicago
Golden color. A cheesy touch in the aroma covers the hops. Medium body, some stale caramel flavor. Wrong.

(Tasting notes from Fall 2000). Mild until aftertaste, then the bitterness kicks in. Pleasant beer.
