TheCheeseMan (513), Saint Cloud, Florida, USA Apr 5, 2008 Cask at Redlight, Brent you rock. Not quite sure what to expect, but this one definitely exceeded all my expectations. Pours a rich orange color, with a voluptuous head. The aroma is unusual and fascinating, with a sweet citrus note dominating. The malt does come through, but that hop charecter is really nice, almost funky. The flavor is what i love about British beers, a near perfect balance between the hops and malt. This would be my everyday drinking, that is if I had a beer engine and an unlimited supply of casks.
JK54B (385), Finland Jun 2, 2008 Cask RA. Dark brown colour. Some licorice in the taste. Round spongelike taste. bhensonb (3010), Woodland, California, USA Apr 26, 2008 Cask at the Magnolia in S.F. Light caramel aroma. Dark amber color with a little white head. Smoth, near medium in body, andno real carbonation. Starts with very well balanced lightly roasted malt and floral/fruit bitter. Finishes pretty dry, yet mildly fruity with fruit/floral hop. It’s good to be in England (in S.F.). mjs (581), Helsinki, Finland Apr 26, 2008 (Cask at Gallows Bird on 2008-01-26) Taste is a bit sweet but roasted malts and fuity hops balance it quite nicely. beastiefan2k (1120), Lawrence (formely NYC), Kansas, USA Apr 13, 2008 The color is a clear, dark brown. Aroma is fruity hops (not American), very strong, which creates a British hop juice sensation; very nice and original. It’s hoppy yet British. The taste is not as interesting, its a watery hop mess and the reduced carbonation just makes it seem bad. I would love to try this bottled and not on cask. Cask @ Beer Table, British pint glass. cmillward (210), Orlando, Florida, USA Apr 11, 2008 Cask @ redlight redlight. Deep amber with a white head. On the nose, light citrisy hops with slight bready malts. Citrus hop bitterness leads, you can detect a subtle sweet malt backbone, and closes with a tangerine like hop finish. Very unique hoppiness, I hope to find Sorachi Ace hops in more of my beers. This was quite a good bitter, hope to have a shot at it again.
