Slightly hazy amber. Thin white head. Moderately light carbonation. Citric hop aroma. Medium bodied, quite malty initially with a smack of Pac NW hop flavor. Nicely balanced and imminently drinkable. Another good brew from the Rm.

Cask Draught @ Connecticut Brewfest: This one poured a bit of an orangish color. The nose was OK, with mainly grapefruits hops, but also a hint of a sweet fruitiness down in there. The taste was a bit bitter, with an underlying dryness. Fairly nicely balanced.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On cask at the CT Brew Fest. Citrus/Pine herbal marijuana notes with a slightly sweet honey aroma. Mildly hazy copper color with a white head. Upfront s hoppy and bitter with citrusy pine notes. Finishes very smooth, but a bit watery. Easy-drinking. Could use more malts.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Porus a translucent golden amber with a medium creamy lacing off white head. Aroma of citrus, floral hop with some caramel. Flavor of fresh citrus hop flavor and a nice caramel malt balance. Nice tasting hoppy and slightly bitter pale ale.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
In short: A basic refreshing brewpub pale ale. Uninspired but well brewed, I can’t complain.
How: Tap at brewpub
The look: Clear golden blonde body topped by a small off-white head with good lacing
In long: Nose of standard pale ale (light C-hops kind of nose). Taste has some citrus fruits, soft caramel, light grapefruits notes. Mild bitterness with a light tartness. I’ve had a pale ale like that 100 times before. I cannot fault it for anything. It was a hot day and I drank my pint in 10 minutes. I liked it. Inoffensively drinkable. It is what it is. The BruRm brewpub is right next to the prestigious Yale University. It was kind of weird for me to see all these high class kids sitting in a pub at 4pm working on their laptops. I sat in front of one, opened my laptop, looked at him and said “I sank your battleship". Good times.

On tap at the BruRoom Brew Pub. Serviceable cascade lke pale. Golden yellow body with lace sheets down the glass. The aroma is hoppy, but also malts. The carbonation is right there. Good orange citrus flavour, good drinkability.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Goldenish copper with medium to small white head. Very citrussy aroma. Very citrussy taste for a pale ale, but with a nice hop backing. Medium to low bitterness. Medium mouthfeel. Godd use a bit more balance in the hops but overall a solid pale.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
My favorite and least flawed beer from the BAR. This is overall a pretty well balanced pale ale with solid hop/malt blend. This was the only beer I had from the night that had a pleasant aftertaste of bitter hop zing. This was a little bit on the watery side, but overall not bad.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of grapefruit and caramel. Tastes of straw, oranges and lysol.
