on cask from naked city on feb 18th. Not that sour, but that’s to be expected from the casking. Overall pretty good.

Tap 2 Parkway. Clear ruby brown pour with a short pink-tan head leaving a minimal soap-bubble lace. Grape juice nose with a hint of alcohol. Medium-light body with minimal carbonation. Sour, but not overly so - this one defines my ’sour limit’. The underlying malt body is tasty and has caramel and butterscotch notes. Excellent!

Cask at Caskfest. Medium dark brown pour with a white head. Lots of brown sugar on the aroma, a little tartness, toffee, toast, a hint of roasty coffee. Flavors present in this are quite similar, but with a good dose of nuttiness and vanilla. Has a fairly light, but still very notable, sour kick to it. I found this really interesting and very nice. I liked the combination of sweet and toasty notes with the tartness.
