Draft. Pours cloudy amber with thick, frothy off-white head; decent retention and good lacing. Aroma is caramel malt, bubblegum, grassy hops, and light citrus. Flavor is unbalanced with malt, hops, and esters all conflicting with each other; flat taste with a dry finish. Medium body with low carbonation and warmth.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask at the brewery. Pale amber pour with a creamy white head. The nose is quite earthy and orangey with lots of soft fruity character. Bright sweet UK-ish caramel malts and a very assertive hoppy bitterness. A little bit of earthiness on the back. Decent brew if a bit lacking on the aroma hops.

cask @ Otto’s. soft body, caramel and toffee malts, its got lots of bitterness without much floral hop profile that we know and love. Bad balance.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On cask at Otto’s on our way to RBSG. Pours a gently hazed orange brown with a thin white head. Spicy citrus, light pine and toast, caramel and slight booze. Thinned out carbonation, smooth. Hoppy and earthy, probably better on draft. Long slow tangy bitterness with some grapefruit to it.
2.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Cask. Lightly yeasty, celery, marshmallow, unrefined cocoa. No t what I’d expect from an ipa but not bad. Very smooth, with a harsh, astringent, drain cleaner finish. Tastes almost skunked. Hop definition is crap. This beer sucks.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
cask selection at the brewpub. Poured copper in color with a thin beige head. Aroma of earthy hops and some pine. Tastes of floral, bitter earthy hops. Not really a huge fan of British style IPA’s.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
brown with mild white head. mild hop aroma. flavor of bitterness with some nobel hop flavor and finishes witha crisp malt sweetness that has some oakiness/smokiness. a style that is not attempted enough and a nice version
