Cask at C’est What? on 10th June 2008. A hoppy, pale straw-coloured cask bitter with the texture and flavour of Milton Sparta, but rather stronger and heavier.

550ml draught

I tried this beer on draught on January 16,2012 at "C’est What" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a translucent red colour with gold hues and a thin creamy tan coloured cap. The aroma was butterscotch, grains, and weak citrusy hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was sweet malt, caramel,butter, and weak citrus. A pretty good beer.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pale amber coloured. Medium bodied, bitter.
If you’re not giving it too much thought this is a really good bitter, but as a beer geek I find something is missing.

Slightly cloudy but clear. Nitro head. Tangy and fruity aroma. Good finish with absolute minumum balance.

I liked this beer. I see that it is categorized as a Bitter. I also like bitters, but that style implies the use of english hops. This beer is ALL cascade and is much closer to Sierra Nevada Pale Ale than any bitter I’ve ever sampled. That being said, off the beer engine, Al’s Cask Ale was a pleasure. As previously stated, the beer has a citrusy, floral nose which is achieved by dry hopping with cascade hops. This is the same cause and effect as found in SNPA. Light, hoppy, full resounding bitterness beautifully balances this medium bodied beer. Again, citrus flavours from cascade hops are present. In my opinion this beer finds bitterness much higher than oake’s estimates - likely in 35-45 range. This is an american microbrew style pale ale rather than a Bitter.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cloudy golden beer with a nice creamy white head. PNW hops dominate the aroma. Flavour is fairly simple, caramel malt with a shot of citrus and spice hops. Long bitter finish. Well-balanced and could hold up againt many of the ESBs I drank in the UK. Very tasty.
