Draught @ Mad Fox Brewing Company - Glover Park Taproom, Washington, DC. Pours nearly clear golden with airy white head. Clear aroma of malt, with hoppy and estery notes and hints of fruit. Bitter, hoppy flavour,mwith heavy estery and malty notes and touches of bread. Bitter and rough aftertaste with notes of needles. Drinkable but nothing to write home about.

Some citrus and a big malt backbone here. On cask this certainly tastes more like an English pale ale. Finishes with light bitterness and some sourness. Pours hazy orange. Cask at Churchkey.
