3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask for ’Pre-Cask Days’ at Volo. Pours a nice murky yellow with a spare bubbly white head -- I like my Cask beer murky looking. Nice aroma of slightly spicy hops, tropical fruit, caramel malt and some sweetness. Flavour follows the aroma with slightly spicy hops, tropical fruit and caramel malt but it’s slightly watery, even for Cask, still good though. Average bitter finish. Not great but a pretty good beer.

2010-10-26. Crisp golden yellow body, small white head and lace. 3+
Flavour is modestly bitter throughout, lightly fruity accents, hints
at citrus if you look pretty hard. Light earthy touches are not earthy
per se, but that’s the closest descriptor I can come up with. 6+ Aroma
of tea like green hops over muted malt support. Average palate is
smooth. On cask at Volo, Toronto

2009-10-28. Golden amber body, headless. Flavour is mild, light bitterness, mild grainy malt undertones, muted citrus - feels a bit dilute overall. 6+ Aroma is similarly mild, light fruit, mild grains. Smooth average palate feels thin due to the lack of carbonation. Inoffensive, but fairly dull. Cask at Volo, Toronto

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask. At Volo 2009 English Cask event. Hazy orange with a large creamy, lasting tightly foamy off-white head. (4-). Overly sweet cereal grain aroma with some floral bitterness. The taste - I kid you not - made me think of a grassy orange Creamsicle - meh. Soft, frothy mouthfeel, very lightly carbonated, with a slightly bitter floral aftertaste, but overall a little too sweet - and a bit papery.
