Draft at Yard House-Springfield. Medium golden pour with small creamy white head. Soft floral hoppy nose, taste adds sbit of spiciness. Sharp, soft bitter hop bite makes for a gentle introduction to the style. A bit more than an APA.

Cask at GBBF 2015. It pours clear gold with a small white head. The nose is soft, oily, honey, dank grassy action, cereal, apricot and peach tart. The taste is bitter- sweet, oily, honeyed grain, hay, grassy, dank, nectarine, peach and a touch of spice with a dry finish. Medium body, fine carbonation and oily mouth-feel. Edges towards being a touch sweet perhaps, but pretty nice nonetheless.
