[2452-20090814] Cask. Fruity citrus roughage aroma has some orange peel hops. Cloudy, brown red body with quick bubbles. More citrus rind in the flavour with just a hint of pear and the oak cask it resides in. Medium body, no carbonation. Yum! Holds up the oak barrel qualities very well.

2009-08-14. Murky orange amber body, headless. (3+) Aroma is quite fruity, note quite sweet oranges but that is the best descriptor I can come up with. Flavour is similarly fruity, light bitterness, light oak in the finish is fairly well integrated, and less prominent than their other brews. (7+) Average plus palate is uncarbonated. This is quite good, and just a touch less oak, and touch more hops and this could be very very good. Enjoyable. Wooden cask in the brewery sampling area.

Had on cask at the brewpub. All of their beers at the brewery are casked. A British style IPA, with some orange citrus. Aroma is malty and hoppy second. Virtually no head, yet a nice looking peacy coloured body. Medium mouthfeel considering it is a cask, with bitterness and considerable malt.I guess Fuggles. What i did like was the oakiness in the finish.
