Cask at Tap and Mallet in Rochester. Poured clear gold with a thin white head. Aroma is very light with notes of caramel, brown sugar and grass. Light, dry body. Flavor is light with a decent malt base and some bitter grass like notes. Not bad.

Cask in the bitter end brewpub. Aroma is noteable bittering hops, some toffee malt charcater, grassy. Taste is a decent malt base but raw bittering hops dominate, really really just raw bitterness.

Had this on cask at The Dive Bar (Worcester, MA). My girlfriend said it tasted like pee. I thought to myself, "maybe I should start drinking some pee. This isn’t half bad." Considerably hoppy yet easy to drink.

Cask - 2007 - Athens, GA This was a tasty brew enen though this cask had gone a little sour in its journey. Light caremel and toasted malt. Nice mellow bitternes and fruityness. A tiny bit ot grassy hops in flavor and aroma.

6/30/07 On Draught at Seattle International Beerfest. Aroma is fruity malt with light caramel and some pear. Appearance is cloudy light copper with a low white head. Flavor is sweet, fruity, watery malt forward with low citrus hop character and low bittering. Mouthfeel is light bodied with a low carb feel and a clean finish. Overall, a good beer, but many of the flavors are too light. This might not have made it across the pond without trouble.
