Dec 13, 2009 On cask at the Iron Hill Newark "Cask & Ye Shall Receive"-Clear amber pour w/a slight head. Woodsy malt aroma. Flavors of bread dough, rye, dark fruit & grain w/a slight floral hop bite. Pretty true to style; tasted very natural as a cask brew, not like something they had to force or adapt into a cask. This is what I think of when I think of a cask brew, I could almost picture sitting at a little Pub in England sipping this "quaffable session ale".

Dec 13, 2009 On cask at the Iron Hill "Cask & Ye Shall Receive" fest. Poured a very light amber with an ok head. The aroma was fruity, floral, earthy, musty. The flavor followed: earthy, some herbal elements, fruits, maybe a toffee-biscuit malt base. Mouthfeel was a fairly full body for a bitter, pretty drinkable, yet a bit on the boring side being from a style that rarely does it for me.

Dec 6, 2009 2009-12-05. Headless dark amber body. Flavour is mild, light bitterness and malt, touch of caramel. 6+ Aroma is mild, touch of malt, muted hops. Average to light palate is undercarbonated. Pretty dull. To be fair it reminds me of a number of English beers I have had in the past, unfortunately not the better ones. Cask at Coles, Buffalo

Dec 6, 2009 Cask at Cole’s cask festival. A fine bitter although a sour finish. Pros were the understated bitterness, and full mouthfeel. A faint Caesar crown an apple juice colour. Is it infection? Sourness does spoil getting it spot in, still a drinkable one.

Dec 3, 2009 On cask at Local 44 in Philly. Pours a nice medium brown with only a little head. Not too much aroma. Taste is very mild and smooth with little hop character. Slightly dry with decent malt characteristics. Overall, it’s a very good session beer but it just doesn’t stand out. Sly Fox could do a bit better on this one but I did like it.

Nov 20, 2009 Cask at Brazen Head. Pale amber pour with a thin white head. The nose is quite light and crackery. Fresh smelling with a soft herbal hoppiness. Fresh tasting with a touch of orangey hops and a crackery toastiness. There is a touch of blackberry flavour on the back of the palate as well.
