Cask conditioned. Excellent IPA drinksl like a brown ale. Dark, bold color. Mild hops, great balance. The head was subtle and the last drop cherished.

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle from miketd, thanks man! Poured a deep reddish-amber color with a thick, almost creamy off-white head that stuck around for quite a while. Light biscuity malt on the nose with some spicy floral hops and some light citrus fruit. Lightly bready malt on the entry with some spicy undertones and a light caramel sweetness transitions into a moderately earthy, floral hop finish. Nice mouthfeel and carbonation. A nice tasting beer, but it doesn’t seem to fit the IPA category. Solid effort.
