CASK at The York. Nose is very plain with light malt and flower petals. Flavor much the same - this seems like a pale with its smooth grain and lightly hopped favors. Nice minerally finish on cask.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Had at the Mammoth Brewfest and Stone 11th Anniversary. The brewer told me it was half an IPA. Hazy gold orange with a mild hop aroma. Flavor is a nice balance of sweet bready malt and citrus pine hops, but with half the quantity of a regular IPA. Light bodied. Perfect for session drinking. A fantastic beer.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Somewhat enjoyable IPA. Served cold from tap. It looked like a macro in the glass, like a Pabst or Bud or something. Slightly unappealing at first, but the taste was decent. Not revelatory. Poured orange-ish with a thin white head. Good hops, no lacing, good medium body.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap@O’Brien"s: Cloudy pale yellow with a small (bar pour) white head. Light grassy, lemon scent. Flavor starts crisp and wheaty followed by light lemon and a light, but sharp grapefruit rind finish. Light body is creamy with moderate carbonation. (It’s an Xtra pale ale).

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at O’brien’s. Pours with an orange-gold body topped by a thin head with little to no lacing. It’s slightly sweet and toasty with a grassy note and lots of noble hops. A nice English style IPA. Light to medium bodied and slightly dry yet smooth.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On draft at O’Briens. Hazy amber with a small whitish head and spots of lace. Mild aroma with light toasty notes, complemented by bright and juicy floral and citrus hops. Somewhat thin, toasty malt back bone, generous hop character, lemon peel, floral and somewhat resiny flavors, blossoming into a nice tangy hop finish and astringent aftertaste. Light body with gently crisp carbonation. I’ll agree with Papajohn - this is more of an extra pale ale.
