Tap. Woody toffee malt and light hop aroma. Golden color with moderate head. Light sweet barley malt and moderately bitter dry grass hops. Very nice.

Hand-bottled at the brewery: Poured a hazy copper color ale with a rather large head and good retention with some lacing. Aroma of bready yeast and caramel malt is somewhat enjoyable. Taste is unfortunately more dominated by bready yeast then the malt backbone, which I was I wasn’t expecting considering the style. Body is quiet full with good carbonation. Too much yeast and malt doesn’t’ come out enough which is what this style usually called for.

On cask at The Livery. Murky medium orange body, thick creamy buff head. Rather light nose, primarily of citrusy hops. Toasty, bready body, tannic elements appearing after a few sips. Lemon and wood characteristics add intrigue to the palate. Mineraly, with hints of cookie dough. Creamy palate. Subtle complexity, but I wasn’t bowled over. My classification may merit revision, too.
