Tap @ brewery. A bit hazy, yellow orange appearance with a white head. Light citrus, a bit toasty, floral hoppy aroma. Quite soapy/floral hoppy, mildly toasty, a bit earthy flavor. Creamy and quite bitter. My least favorite here so far.

(Update - simcoe dry hopped cask - holy shit, it is amazing how cask conditioning and a hop variant can change a beer - original rating was a 3.3 - this cask version blows that out of the water - bready but dry - bright, citrusy hops - lovely dry yeast notes - sweetness from the tap version is totally absent - great stuff) Tap at the brewery - told this was about 4.5% - lightly hazy bright orange pour - frothy head - light body, but with a slightly bready texture - flavors of light honey sweetness up front, followed by some light buttered toast - then the beer dries out a bit and leaves quite a lovely snappy, floral finish, with just a lint note of mineral - good, but probably my least favorite of what I have had here.
