Draught. Dark golden colour with a small off-white head. Sweet hoppy, citrus aroma and taste. Medium body and a dry finish.

Draught. Dark copper colour, small creamy white head. Slightly watery and slightly hoppy flavour. Quite nice, but could have more character. 5 3 6 3 14

Cask at GBBF08. Very nice grassy hop aroma. Clear copper colour, small frothy head. The flavour is also nicely hoppy, grassy and slightly caramelly with a little hop bite in the finish. 8 3 7 3 16

Pretty darn good pale ale. Goes well with many different foods. Nice balance between hops and malt.

A very nice tasting beer, slightly sharp but not bitter. Very good with chicken or wings. Highly enjoyable and one with my full recommendation.

Had at Crickiteers in the Hilton in North Dallas. Tawny orange body with a thin foamy head. Nicely hopped and very fresh tasting. Little bit of bitterness on the back end. Tastes like the bottled version but fresher with more lively hops.

Tap at Summits. Deep yellow color with thin white head. Aroma is lightly floral and citrusy. Flavor is more lemony with a mild long grapefruit rind bitter finish. Malt is light as it the body.

Perhaps one of the greatest differences between the bottled version and this one for me is that this is a much more one dimensional beer. This is a very palatable hop juice. Nothing too strong but nothing too light either. The malts don’t really jump out but they are certainly in there. The flavors really meld well and it is a well crafted beer but it lacks the kick of the bottled version.
