Lockwood's Retreat

Pint can not date coded but assumed reasonably fresh since it’s a summer seasonal. Pils glass. A: Almost clear burnt orange with a small well retaining off-white head. A few bubbles seen. Ahh, the remainder of the pour contained all the sediment. So not clear but quite hazy. S: Sweetish citrus and rich toffee scent. Mainly orange and a bit of pine. T: Orange zest and pith with an earthy hop note too. Toasted almost roasty brown bread. M: Medium weight with just enough carbonation. Slight resin on otherwise clean medium finish. O: I think this does a pretty good job of fusing English and American styles. Not a citrus bomb nor a dirt bomb. Good try.

Draft. Hazy amber color, white edge head. Aroma of lemongrass. Taste is malt firward biscuit with crisp pine. Nice.

On draft at trio’s in kill devil hills it is a murky amber color with a slight head. The aroma is of citrus and the taste is very hoppy with strong bitter citrus overtones that lingers on the palate.

On draft at Trio in Kitty Hawk NC. Pours a hazy amber with an off white head. Mild aroma. Grassy flavors. Bitter finish.

A dark amber ipa with a thin mocha head. In aroma, smooth caramel malt with grassy hops, lightly floral. In mouth, caramel malt with loads of roasted character character, to the point of being bilous, grassy hops, grapefruit pulp, astringent.
