<i>Draught at Homebrew Mart next to Ballast Point:</i> Yellow clear, thick white head. Nose of fresh light hops and some hidden pale malts. The flavor is nice and rich with the hops showing a creamy mouthfeel and a nice character. Nice summer ale, just a bit off on the timing, eh?

Cask at Hamilton’s. Hazy pale yellow colour. Aroma is fairly hoppy. Nice orange/grapefruity sweetness over a soft wheaty base. Quite spicy and herbal character behind all the sweet hoppiness. Flavour is nicely spicy. Some light lemony character behind the more typical orange/grapefruit. Low bitterness but lots of spicy wheaty flavour. Sort of an interesting IPA/wit combo.

Advertised to be made with freshly picked cascade hops. Draft in the back of the homebrew shop. You have to love that. Clear golden color with a medium sized fluffy head. Decent amount of grapefruit in the aroma. Flavor was caramel malt in the front with plenty of grapefruit mixed in . Mild bitterness on the finish. This makes for a really nice session beer.
