Cask at BD. Aroma and top flavors are great. Smooth grapefruit, orange, cream, vanilla and sweet hops. Flavor is the same until the finish, which is a sharp, dark and unwelcome concentrated bitterness. Like getting a dollop of mud on your tongue at the end. Also too cold for a cask.

on tap 8/11/10 at the den. super dry. aromas and flavors are amped up dank and citrus. very tasty version of the ipa. 8/4/8/4/16

Cask dap pours up deep gold to copper with hazy opacity and off white head. The aroma offers up loads of yummy and drool inducing sweet citrus hop as well as faint notes of spicy hops, earthy hops and a sense of malt sweetness. The taste seems to echo the aromatics with firm levels of sweet citrus hop flavor rolling slowly and smoothly on a creamy conveyor belt of mild spicy and faint earthy hops. The low level of malt sweetness melds seamlessly into the citrus hop goodness creating a wonderful flavor.

Cask @ Brewers Den. Good floral and citrus aromas. Murky orange body with off white head with some lacing. Grapefruit flavors standout and flavor is smooth and refreshing. Some dry bittering on the finish, good brew.
