solid backbone, decent bitterness. Well rounded, but not that exciting. Its a non-brainer PA that delivers something that is great to drink when you are with non-beer geek friends or a non-beer place, like a great rock club.

Draught at Tadg’s. Deep copper with a fine head. Fresh American hop nose, probably Cascade… Huge bitterness—long and raunchy. Smooth and full body, light caramel, grass and citrus. Nice, with good balance. Can’t really tell how much stronger it is. It has more body, and way more hoop bitterness, but not much more malt flavor than the regular. Just a light sweetness in the background on massive bitterness. Good, though the regular pale ale, dry hopped in the cask, is better. They should try that method of serving with this one.
