Keg pour at Powder Keg Beer & Chili Festival. Aroma is resinous, hay, grass with a little corn chip. Appearance is nice golden yellow pour, mild sparkle, small foamy white head with nice lacing. Taste is similar as aroma, moderately bitter but well balanced with sweet. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thick texture with slightly too lively/fizzy carbonation. Overall,

Cask at GBBF 2015. It pours clear golden with a small white head. The nose is soft, doughy malt, graininess, stone fruits, restrained citrus and not a whole lot more. The taste is smooth, bitter, grainy, cracker, lemon, grapefruit, mild astringency and earth with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A bit underwhelming, but drinkable enough.

GBBF Day 1. Cask. Hazy gold beer, tiny white head. Palate is light and smooth with decent fine carbonation. Mildly sweet pale malts, touch of honey. Decent citric peel - lemon and grapefruit. Semi sweet floralness and a touch of tropical fruits. Hops spicy semi dry finish. Good stuff. 3.7

GBBF Day 2. Cask. Lemondrop dry hop version. Curious about the lemondrop hops here, but this beer was not in the best condition. Some slight vinegar and acetone. But there is also lemon and lemon peel. Dry finish. Interesting, Could have been great if it was in better shape. 3.3
