6oz waiting for a ferry with George. Appearance: clear pale copper with a white head. Aroma: malty, caramel, slight herbal character. Taste: along the same lines, somewhat caramel forward, finishes with hoppy bitterness. Overall: not bad, it lacks elegance, but drinkable.

On tap at the brewery. Soft hoppiness on the nose. Has a decent antique white creamy head and medium gold body. Flavour is crisp hops with mellow juiciness. Good fullness on the mouth. A nice IPA, alcohol is not too present.

Bottle. Hazy, amber, bubbly head. A bit chewy, some piney hop notes. Balanced, sweet malt notes, again piney bitterness. Nice and old school.

650 ml bottle. Pours a clear dark copper color with light head. Aromas of candied grapefruit. pine and bready malts. Flavors of bitter pine and toasted malts with a fruity backing. Clean and simple, but there are so many others just like this...

On tap at White Sails, pours a clear golden with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out piney hops and very crisp biscuity malt that tends to dominate. Flavour is very citric, with lots of piney and citrus hops, and a thin biscuity malt backbone. Much more citrusy and hop-forward than the nose suggests. Low sweetness and overall malt component, which is fine by me. A little astringent on the finish, but it works well.
