From the cask at the 2007 ABR. Lots of hops in the aroma. Flavor has more hops as well, pine, some citrus. Very smooth out of the cask, and perhaps a little warm, but great flavor. Cloudy gold color.

ABR 2007. Hoppy nose with an almost nutty malt character. Sweet malt on the flavor with more hops to finish it out.

Cask ABR 07. Nice citrusy hoppiness on the nose and palate, with a light biscuity sweet malt to balance. A solid pale ale.

On cask at the ABR 07 in Minneapolis, MN. Pours a hazy golden pale brew with a fast dissolving white head that leaves behind a fine film and ring. Aroma of mostly citrus zest, a touch of apricot, light bread malt and a touch of pepper. Taste is medium bodied, very little carbonation with flavors of mostly citrus/pine and some fruity pears. Finish is slighly bitter with a lingering citrusy/pine aftertaste.

Cask at ABR. Pleasant hop aroma: mostly citrus with some apricot and pine notes. Creamy and smooth on the palate. Nice balance of hops and malt. Sessionable APA.

Dark red. Nice APA with a bit more malt flavour to it. Mild mannered and drinkable. Good hop flavours are evident, but not huge.
