Clean, intense hop aroma, fruity raspberry and sweet malts. Thick brew, hazy copper-brown with smallish head. Bitterness found its dominion, but its more citrus, grapefruit like &#40;different than west coast monster IPAs are&#41;. Plenty of malt sweetens the deal, leaves sticky residue on lips. Juicy, full bodied ale . .

Grapefruit aroma, cloudy unfiltered but smooth look. Nicely hopped, carboanted. Decent, smooth taste. Volo cask Days.

<i>Cask at Bar Volo’s Cask Days 2005.</i> Pours a cloudy dark orange with a spare white head. Aroma was like a weird medicinal hop and nothing else &#40;I don’t know what ’medicinal hop’ is but it’s what I wrote when I had it&#41;. The huge hop flavour is interesting and different but it’s not that enjoyable -- and I’m a huge hophead. It’s a nice try and an interesting failure but ultimately it was hard to drink.

Volo Cask Days. Aroma is as hoppy as all get out! Cloudy, even murky brownish green, tiny custard head. Flavour is leafy whole hops, from the first sip to the last. Sticky, chewy, full bodied, not the least bit complex &#40;no complaints&#41; Amazing! Perry, I’m always impressed with Your Work!
