Tap@Kelly’s, Key West. Clear amber color, small off-white head. Raisins and caramalt with some flowery notes in the nose. Light to medium-bodied. Raisins, fruityness, earthy hoppyness. Quite English actually. Below average brewpub bitter.

On tap at Florida Brewers Guild Fest 2007. Beer listed as an IPA with 6.5% ABV. Nice deep golden pour with tiny ring of foam but really almost no head. It has a pretty big tangelo to sweet grapefruit aroma. The taste doesn’t really deliver what the aroma was promising. Seems a bit watery and neutral in the beginning for an IPA. There’s a little grapefruit and pine hops which grow toward the finish. About midway I get a roasted malt note. I guess the stronger hop finish the beer has sort of makes up for the watery start.

(On tap) Beautiful, clear amber - basically without any head. Discreet, malty aroma. Medium body with some caramel and a gentle and lovely touch of grape fruit from the aroma hops that also leave a very dry finish. More amber than golden ale though. 060406
