Full pour at Craft Beer Islington, October, 2016. Cask. Big, bright hop aroma. Lots of citrus and full hop flavor. For a pale ale, rather than IPA, impressive hop character. in good shape from the cask, great palate. A fine American pale ale.

Cask at CBC Islington. It pours clear gold with a medium white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, juicy, tropical fruit vibe, mango, apricot and passion fruit. The taste is dry, very bitter, loads of pithy citrus, grapefruit, bitter orange, pithy, zesty, straw, pepper and a touch of soap with a very dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Decent stuff.
