A cask only beer brewed to be poured exclusively from firkins, either via gravity from the bar top or through a beer engine. This traditional British ale is authentic cask conditioned beer with a smooth malt profile balanced by a subtle hop presence. Dry -hopping in the cask produces an enticing hop aroma in this quaffable session ale.

Location: Cask at Beer Culture, 8/11/14
Aroma: It has a pretty dull nose with some toffee/caramel notes, toast, not much else
Appearance: It pours a clear orange color with a small, creamy head on top
Flavor: The taste is dull and light, a little malty sweetness, mild fruit, little else
Palate: The body is light and a little thin, a little lacking overall in mouthfeel
Overall Impression: I wasn't all that impressed by this one. It's thin, and there just isn't much here. There's no major flaw or anyhing, it doesn't taste shunky, but it just lacks overall. That thinness shows the downside of cask, as there's nothing to hide the lack of body.
