On cask at pub. Pours a murky reddish brown with off white head. Nose and taste a earthly, mellow hopped, nice malt backbone. Solid brew.

at the day of the ales 2011 I tried a beer called hissyfit, which was a dry hopped tangerine red lager, which this sounds lie fro the description. I had it ranked as my second favorite beer of the event. It was different but had a bold, interesting flavor.

On cask at RB Warrenville. Poured a clear, medium coppery-amber with 1 finger of creamy off-white head. Nose picked up light fruity detergent, floral hops, and some toffee. Fruity and toasted caramel malts in the flavor.. high bitterness and diacetyl presence.. some pine toward the back... did not flow well. Slick and highly bitter on the palate with unpleasant sharp alcohol points. This one didn’t work for me.
