Clear, apple juice body with a small white head. The nose is cotton candy, herbs and bread. The flavor is dough, herbs, apple juice and honey. Medium/light body is soft with very light carbonation.

draught wharf rat @camden yards: pours a very light clear golden hay colour, starts with a small white head and fades into a thin white line. aroma is citrus and fresh fruit almost pineapple like. behind the fruit is a nice sweet caramel malt and biscuit. flavour is thin but very appealing nice front and back palate bitter with soft fruit and sweet malt in the middle. very good session beer.

Cask, Frisco Grille. Pours a clean, bright amber color; white, web-like head with solid lacing. Reserved aroma, showing a biscuity base and earthy / spicy hops; very mild. Light carbonation in a medium mouthfeel: biscuity / toasty malt character at the core of things, with a chewy malty, dried fruit note emerging at mid-palate; surrounded by a pleasant English-style hoppiness without the typical dryness. Very well balanced and sessionable. Medium, bready and mildly bitter finish.

(cask conditioned at Wharf Rat Fells Point) golden amber with decent head. Mild aroma. Flavor is mild hops and malt. Low in carbonation as expected from a cask.

Big poofy head, clear, darkish gold honey brew. Butterscotch, hop aroma. Diacetyl, gel, light bittering with light citrus notes. Watery and a bit flat. OK, not great.
