Cask at Rattle n Hum: Pale light golden pour with a thin white head. Crisp and bright aroma- lemon zest and herbal qualities with a crackery dry malt background. Creamy mouthfeel- quite substantial for the low ABV. Beautiful flavor- has a solid crackery malt back- very dry throughout with a rich zesty/spicy hop character. A fantastic session!

(cask @ The Old Toad - Rochester, NY) Slightly hazy golden color with a soapy and thick white head. Aroma is rather hoppy with some floral notes and some light citrus. Flavor has a very nice and strong hop flavor and a sweet middle of citrus and a nice and bitter hoppy finish. Alcohol isn’t so high that you can’t drink a lot of these. Very nice.
