12 oz bottle pours and amber/orange color with a medium off white head. Aromas of orange caramel, malts, and some floral hops. Taste starts out semi sweet with hints of caramel, and orange strong presence nuts. Finishes with pine. and some hopy bitterness.

Cask@GBBF2008. Golden colour, not much head. Aroma is fruits, wood, some flowery and fruity hops along with mild notes of alcohol. Flavour is alcohol, fruits, nectar and quite nutty. Also some grassy and earthyness in the finish.

Cask at GBBF 08. It is hazy amber. A little earthy on the hops. Not ready yet. Too muddy, earthy. It came on quite late on the Thursday as some US stuff was running out and I think they put it on strictly before it was ready. Not really sure that it is supposed to be this muddy/earthy.

Dark amber hue with creamy white head, excellent lacing, decent amount of hops, not the best IPA but decent, more aromatic than hoppy to taste, , nothing special but good brewery economically priced, fresh, my 3rd favorite at this point from Philadelphia Brewing Company, should recognize that every distributor has in stock, does that mean everyone likes the other styles better?

Honey colored with huge white whipped cream head. Aroma is citrus zest with slight oxidized vegetal undertones and mild sweetness. Taste is lemony and bitter with pithy bite. Other than that, not much going on flavor-wise. $2/12ozs

Light copper in color with a moderate fluffy white head. The nose was filled with floral hops, orange pulp and herbs. In the mouth it was light and bitter lacking flavor concentration. The palate was dry as expcected but just didn’t have much flavor.

Bottle from Foodery. Amber with moderate head. Mild aroma and flavor. Perfumey and floral hops with light malt. Easy to drink.

Bottle from Foodery II in Philadelphia. Pours pale amber with an off white head (yellow hues) and nice lacing. Aroma of toffee and wet brewing grains. Medium light bodied. British like maltiness (toffee and caramel) countered by a muted hop bitterness that lingers. This would be an ideal candidate for a cask offering.
