Cask at whole foods in chandler az may 2013 Pours very light hazy orange witb a large fluffy white head with sparse lacing. Nose is grainy leaffy hops very traditional nose for the style flavors of leaffy hops lite pale grains and some lite bitterness really traditional for the style but in a good way. Long grainy finish with lingering leaffy lite tobbaco like notes very solid cask ale here

A fairly decent light easy beer. It pours a very pale yellow with minimal head. It has a very mild bready aroma. The taste was just slightly bitter otherwise kind of bland.

Floral aromas of lilac and honeysuckle with a floral hop palate to match. A thoroughly decent American attempt at an English classic.

womencantsail (6896) - Garbage Grove, California, USA - MAR 4, 2013
Amber in color with a small khaki head. Nose is really bready with a good floral and earthy hop character. Hints of orange peel, sweet toast, and a hint of grass. Mild flavor, but nice bread and toasted malt character and sweetness. Mild citrus bitterness, floral and earthy hops, light grass, and a somewhat dry finish.

jredmond (4023) - Manhattan, New York, USA - SEP 19, 2012
Draft at blind tiger. Pours a clear amber body with light haze, no head, minor lacing. Aroma is faint pils. Mouthfeel is ultra thin, essentially water with a light hop in the background. Wow, extremely drinkable if this is you’re style.
