Cask at Clybourn. Poured a slightly hazy yellow gold color.The head was thick, creamy and white. Pleasant mix of fruity hop and modest malt notes that included the likes of orange and lemon Pez candy, a splash of lime juice, toasted bread, pale malt, and subdued pine. Light to medium bodied and delicately sweet.

Sample at Clybourn. I entered this beer as an American Pale because that’s how it’s listed at "the other site", but now looking at my notes this beer seemed very English to me. It poured clear amber with a medium beige head. Nose was English malt, a bit of diacetyl and bitter (not citrusy) hops. Flavor was malty up front with a bit of citrus and butter before a lasting bitter finish.
