Fresh growler from the brewpub and cask at the brewpub. Pours a hazy gold/amber with a white head.Smells of oranges, some pine, caramel. Taste yields a nice bitterness balances with some oranges, resin and dry malt. Very solid offering!

Cask at the brewpub. Slightly hazy golden amber beer with a thin white head. Aroma is very hoppy and fresh with a soft piny aroma over a light grapefruity citrus character. Lightly resiny as well. Good balance, soft palate. Light pale malt, grapefruit and a bit of citrusy character. A tasty simple IPA. The cask works well for this one. Soft lingering bitterness.

@VT Beerfest–on tap-pours off white bubbles and hazy gold color. Aroma is bitter citrus hops. Taste is bitter citrus hops-northwest, resin. Dry.

12 ounce sample at the brewpub. Mild metallic, pine-like aroma with a bit of weird graininess as well. Sort of smells like dirty socks. The aroma is definitely off. Moderately hazy copper color with an off-white head that is small. There is good lacing, though. Bitter, grapefruity PNW hops to start, turning a bit more citrus and orange-like. Light toasted malts in the middle with more dry, bitter, grapefruity hops to finish. Overly dry and lacks malt balance.

[on cask at brewpub] Misty bronze with a frothy, beer pump head that clung to the glass. Fruity aroma full of fresh hops in good pine/grapefruit balance--also some toffee. Grapefruit bitterness plus fruit flavours from fermentation lead gently into a delicate toffee malt all backed up by a british-like bitterness that lasts for a bit. Very good session beer with low carbonation, light to medium body, and an almost crisp finish.
