Cask @ waterfront-manhattan. Hops aroma, not a lot more, but for whatever reason not bad out of the cask.

Bottle from Hopt. Aroma is soft fruity hops, some tropical and peachy notes, bready and biscuity malt, mild floral/herbal, touch of pine resin and caramel. Flavour is moderate sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium. Malty IPA, bit restrained, but very pleasant.

On tap at Madison Square Garden during intermission of The David Gilmour concert. Clear amber orange pour. Small beige cap. Some floral citrus and pine in the aroma. Some toasted, caramelly notes on the palate. Mild dank citrus and pine, as well. Smooth, medium bodied and easy drinking. I… have become… comfortably buzzed.

Aroma was ....interesting, not anything I'd experienced from an IPA before. Taste was off, didn't really remind me of an IPA at all. Palate was kind of weak. Not necessarily bad but it was just a pretty weak attempt at making an IPA.
