Deep copper, small white head. Big citrus aroma, loads of resins, and sweet caramel malts. Perfect mouth feel, solid carb. Incredible balance between the hops and malts. One of the most balanced ipas ive had in a while.

Notes from May 2009 Served at the most recent Chelsea cask event. One of the most satisfying beers I've ever experienced on cask. Still remembered how faint I felt after trying this at the last cask event, I made it a priority to impose upon some patrons & nudge my way into their booth for this one. Cask was actually a bit more unsettled then I remember. I think they were tipping it at this point, & I got one of the next to last draws. No matter, just more of what I want. A muddled brown leather color. A heavy quarter-inch ring of meringue head that I wasn't expecting. Smell at first was solvent-y, but quickly warmed into a macerated glass of stollen, with plenty of extra orange & pit-y zest. Taste was immensely doughy & packed with crusty loaves & stale cake. Citrus bitterness roamed the background, a bit muddled, but more intertwined then it's straight edged bottle self. A little lactic maybe, filled in with some stale pepper. Finish was a tad leafy, but very grainy & hearty as well. Drinkability isn't quite as good as it should be just because of my love/hate relationship with cask, but wow, this is better then the bottle. Carbonation is about the same, but I just don't sense the hops that everyone points out. Much more juicy & bittersweet, & delicately peppered, then shudderingly masochistic.

Quite hoppy, tastes closer to a red IPA.

Can from Harvest. Pours a clear deep amber with a finger of off-white head that lingers. Lovely pink grapefruit and pine aromas on the nose with caramel malt and light bitterness present. Palate is more of the same with toasted caramel and grapefruit standing out. Bright and quite drinkable. Bitter finish, well-balanced. Glad to finally try this classic.

Pours a clear red amber with a thick white head. Aroma of resin and earth. Taste is refreshing and dominated by hoppy citrus notes. Resinous mouthfeel, oak and lemongrass noticeable on the palate. Not too bitter, very enjoyable.
