Cask. The bartender told me that this was brewed with fresh local hops. Clear burnt orange pour, with a tinge of haze. Topped with a smooth and silky off-white head. Blast of fresh, sweet sugary hop aroma, with citrus and floral. Almost creamy aroma. Diacetyls hit me first in the flavor department. A caramel element, dosed with butterscotch. Finishes up with a bitingly fresh hop attack. Two obvious planes of delivery. First, a smooth, caramel buttery malt, followed by a swoop of fresh west coast like hops that don’t balance too well. Palate is hop dry.
