Draft at Dog and Duck Pub in Austin. Nose has nice grapefruit, other citrus notes, slight spice, some light malt undertones. Taste mirrors the nose, but with greater clarity, more juicy grapefruit, Bramling Cross hops, very subtle oak and long bitter finish, alcohol well hidden. Smooth and full body, a nice strong IPA.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at the Draught House 43rd Anniversary Party.
The beer pours a hazy golden yellow color with a small white head. The aroma has a lot of floral notes from the English hops, but there is also a nice orange citrus component and some lightly oaked notes.
The flavor follows suit. You can definitely tell the base beer is an English IPA with the floral and slightly earthy hop notes, as well as some biscuit and a little bit of orange citrus. The oak is light, but is pretty well done. It doesn’t overpower the other components, but accentuates them instead.
Medium mouthfeel and low carbonation.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Hazy more than not yellow. Smallish white head. Aromatic bitter sweet hop aroma. Xlstrong bite initially. Litghly setting balanced bitter flavor. A bit effervescent. It can clear the sinuses. Amen.
