[3589-20110210] Cask. Mild grainy hops grass aroma has a hint of sweetness. Hazy, brown orange body with a quick foamy white head. Lightly bitter grainy grassy hops flavour hints at lemon in the finish. Medium body shows a little booze as it progresses. Good, repeatable. (6/3/8/3/15-) 3.5

Cask at Project X. Deep amber pour. The nose is lightly fruity and a bit caramelly. Not overtly hoppy or bitter. A little bit of grassy character. The malts are a little bit too sweet for my tastes and the hops (although I know wet hopped beers aren’t nearly as hoppy as those made with conventionally hopped beer) don’t really come through. It’s okay - but it not the sort of thing that holds up for four months past brew day.

2011-02-10. Hazy golden orange amber body with a tiny white head. 3+ Flavour is pleasantly hoppy, juicy mild citrus, green leafy hop under current have the barest minty touch. 6+ Mild aroma is pleasant, hops over a mild malt core, lingering juicy hops and green herbaceous hop character 6+ Average palate. Not as assertive as some, it is fairly well round and enjoyably drinkable. Cask at the brewery
