(On tap) Cask conditioned. Amber coloured with an off-white head. Malty nose with an edge of caramel. Medium body with some caramel malt and some fantastic fresh and fruity aroma hops. A bit low in carbonation. Lovely. Served as an extra by the friendly waiter. 300306

<b>Cask handpull at brewpub:</b> Clean golden hue with a small frothy head and very good lace. The aroma has notes of grassy noble hops, some apple and mango esters, biscuity malt, hint of caramel, and some pepper vapours. The taste is a balanced mild bitterness, fruity and dry grainy background. A touch medicinal but not too bad. The mouth feel is soft and chalky, thin and refreshing enough. A very quaffable session beer, I liked it. <b> The should be listed as an ESB methinks.</b>

Draft sample at Knoxville Brew Jam. Poured a clear dark amber color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate earthy sour citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bitter finish of moderate duration. Flavorful pale ale.

Draft 5 oz sample at the brewpub, 5/14/06: Golden orange with a thin veil. Crisp tartness in the bitterness. Nice exceptionally clean beer with no huskiness to a great malt basis. Very pleasant hoppy beer.
