On tap at North Fork, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is almost non-existent, with biscuity malt maybe. Flavour is kind of stale, with English biscuity malt and a touch of diacetyl. Not very pleasant.

Draft - Caramel and a touch of butterscotch with a hint of twig. Clear dark gold with a rich white head. Light grainy caramel and a touch of twig in the finish. Not bad.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear nut brown. Grassy nose. Sweet with clean, hard mouthfeel and notes of ash. Spicy bitterness. The malt character is simplistic and way too hard to be pleasant.

Hazy brick colour. Toasty, caramelly aroma and palate. Sligtht earthiness and phenols. Rather poorly developed flavour profile. Sort of fizzy, which isn’t normal in their beers. Not up to their usually high standards. As it seemingly wasn’t much when mjames visited and it is low season at North Fork, I wonder if this beer hasn’t been sitting around too long. I’ll give this another shot in winter.

Rich red color, a huge full malt flavor, with some plastic and caramel. Why are so many of their beers why too malty?
