’’Wet Hopped’’ cask at Volo cask days, October 2008. This one is hazy golden yellow: has a thin head with big, fairly transparent bubbles. The aroma is grassy with some citrus in the hops. Light mouthfeel. I taste pine, grass and a bitter pine finish.

on cask at volo cask days 2008. golden with a tight white ring. moderately hopped but lack themalt backbone i really love in IPA’s. not bad in anyway but this one did not shine on a day filled with well hopped brews. i just found the malt profile to be a bit lacking and the palate was a touch thin. i would have this again but i didnt go back for seconds on this day.

On tap at Volo. Excellent pale ale. Average maltiness but above average hoppiness.

Golden-beige colour. Earthy, herbal, slightly spicy hop nose with a caramel base. Some woody hop, but quite a bit of diacetyl as well. Not nearly aromatic enough for the "west coast" moniker, and rather malt-accented for the style in general. Worse, though, is that the malts aren’t that good, there’s too much diacetyl and nothing comes together.

Draught @ Smokeless Joe. Amber, slight haze, lovely thick head had a smiley face in it, some lacing. Aromatic hoppy nose, with orange pith. Served a little too cold. Soft mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Refreshing citrusy, zesty, and plum juice flavors. Reasonably long but with a thin finish. Just enough sweetness. Not huge but it is solid, good, refreshing, and mildly fruity.
