A pint at the brewery after the tour, Dry hop, cask conditioned version.
It pours a coppery red colour with a lithe tan head. Floral hoppy nots are predominant with some fruity undertones. It has a very nice hop taste with a slight malt blending in at the end to perfect the aftertaste. A very nice mouthfeel compliments everything else good about this beer.

Jul 21, 2008 pint- also had the cask example at the brewery but this review will comment only upon the draft version. Rose petals/perfume like aroma that is faint and fleeting. first sip reveals a lot of sweetness, and semi-citrusy hops with little in the way of hop bitterness. Im not sure if the beer is underattenuated, or just sweet. It’s a decent and drinkable brew, but not a very good representative of the style.

Jul 15, 2008 Bu sur place en fut (20 oz), le 12/7/08. Couleur thé glacé un peu brumeuse, mince collet. Arome d’houblon plustôt végétal, un peu amère. Goût d’herbe houblonné, légèrement amère. IPA bizzard, bien qu’elle a les catéristique de son style, c’est son côté végétal qui est étrange!

Jun 22, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. I had both the cask version and the regular version. Regular: Light amber with a white head. Not as good as the tankhouse beer. The hops are a bit more lonesome here in that they stand out unbalanced without complement. Has a fairly quick finish. An OK beer, but not great (score: 2.9).
Cask:Pours hazy light brown to dark amber with a big bubbled white head. Has an intense chocolate and butterscotch aroma. Smooth. Very smooth. The tongue is saturated with lemon-lime flavors. Lots of tea flavors to this as well. Has a very drying finish. On cask, this beer is completely transformed. I simply would not recognize the cask vs. keg versions of this beer as being the same.

Jun 16, 2008 draught: cloudy copper colour. Flower and hops aroma and tastes the same, nice hops for sure.

Apr 1, 2008 On tap- Clear amber body topped with a frothy white foam. Minute lacing. Bready, cookie dough, fresh hoppy nose with spices and floral notes. Cookie dough up front with floral hops, a touch of a metallic twang, with a grapefruit, biscuit component leading into the finish. Medium bodied, perhaps a touch alcoholic. All in all, well made.
