3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20 kmweaver (3025) - Santa Rosa, California, USA - MAY 7, 2008
Cask @ Frisco’s. Pours a hazy, amber-red color; off-white head with fine-bubbled lacing. Light aroma: toasty, stale malts and overripe red fruits; a touch watery. Medium mouthfeel: relaxed carbonation; red fruits, stale malts, and a touch of mineral hoppiness; alright, and pleasant in the mouth, but a touch watery and a touch stale. Disappointing. Medium finish: bready, red fruit maltiness, and some residual sugar.

draught wharf rat @ camcen yards:
pours a golden clear colour with a white foamy head. aroma is malty and sweet with a bready biscuit also some fresh fruit and honey. flavour is an excellent malt character with perfect amounts of bitter hops in the finish, tht pair well with the bread and fruit of the beer. just a fantastic finish that is dry and hop bitter. i love this style

[Cask at The Wharf Rat, Baltimore] A hazy orange beer with a light orange head. The aroma is very lightly fruity. The flavor is fruity with peaches and ornages standing out, but also with a slight note of diacethyl, leading to a dry bitter finish. The mouthfeel is very smooth. I find it a bit boring - especially when their Best Bitter is so nice.
