On cask at the brewery. Pours a clear copper with a creamy ecru head. Aroma of orange and toffee. Flavor is moderately bitter with a creamy mouthfeel. Superb.

Cask. Amber-red, vibrant colour slight haze. This had a sparkler but it looked awesome. The fresh ekg dry hops are very evident. Soft body, maybe a bit slick but with a touch of cask acidity . Hit of caramel, getting into toffee. Earthy hop character. Increases in complexity as it goes.

Draft. Deep amber body with an off-white head, rapidly diminishing. Aroma of biscuit, caramel, toasted malts, citrus. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Caramel taste on top of bread and mustiness. Neither the aroma nor flavor are overly strong, but there’s a good balance between malt and hop with a light lingering bitterness. Tasty for a 4% session beer. Reminded me of a lighter version of their chin wag esb.

Keg and cask pours at brewery. Fairly clear, dark burnt orange appearance with a tan head. Mild citrus, rich caramel, grassy, earthy aroma. Fairly biscuity, rich caramel, mild toffee, toasty malty, light orange citrusy flavor. Flavors seem a bit more present and rich in the cask version (which was dry hopped with goldings). Nice stuff.

Cask at the brewery - not sure of the hops used in this firkin, but the flavor profile seems like a mix of British and German noble - the beer is very dry, but with a doughiness the the body that adds some heft and a light estery note - for the most part, the malts are biscuity and semi dry - the hops add a complex fruitiness - a touch of dry minerals throughout - hints of damp earthiness and wood - very nice, indeed.
