GABF05: Clear and light gold. Light body; not necessarily watery, but thin. Sadly, the grainy, husky malts seemed to be more noticeable than the hop profile ... which was rather weak, obviously. Even after a couple large-pour samples, I couldn’t get much out of this beer. No offensive off-flavors really, just not a lot of charisma to speak of.

UPDATED: OCT 5, 2006 On Tap @ Ben and Nick’s. Pours a very light yellow, the color I’d imagine Bud to be (if I knew what it looked like). I understand this is an English style IPA but I found very little (read: None) hop character to it. It’s very clean and drinkable but only slightly malty and not enough hops for me.

Cask. This is a strange one. It starts out very sweet with grapefruit bitterness, but it starts to change halfway through to a more balanced beer. There is still a sweetness with a nice hop bitterness, but there's also a slight grassy/earthy taste to it that wasn't pleasant or even over unpleasant. It was also very carbonated for a cask beer.
