Growler from the brewery. Pours a hazy golden orange with a thick white head. Aroma of citrus, grassy hops, hop oils, and a hint of crackery malt. Flavor is initially grassy, spicy hops, light citrus, bready malts, with a tangy citrus and sweaty hops finish. Palate is light, of course, as expected but certainly not weak. This is a super flavorful IPA, super hoppy as well, and only 4%! 7/4/8/4/14 [3.7/5]

Cask. Pours gold with a white head. Light citric hoppy aroma, with flowery hops, and pale malts. The flavor has crisp floral and grassy hops, a hint of citrus, and pale and lightly sweet malts. Session strength IPA? Giddy up.

Draft at Pony with Brendan and Streets. Pours an amber body with little head retention. Aroma is nice fresh hop. Mouthfeel is creamy, with notes of fresh floral hop and a mild grassiness. Would prefer to try this not on cask, as I think the cask really mutes alot of the hop flavor.
