20oz cask pour at Piper Pub in Pittsburgh. Pours a totally clear, light prange with a thin, creamy white head. Nose was malty, wet bread, a little yeast, some light citrus. Flavor takes a turn for the worse, there’s a weird, peanut like flavor, some stale bread, no bitterness at all. Weak, watery finish. Not good.

Typical good beery aroma, nothing special, absent of adjuncts in the smell. Slightly darker than a pale yellow beer, more copper or light brown in color. Filtered and clear. Taste is fairly mild without much bitterness. Some fruity tartness can be detected if you really search for it. Decent carbonation with some fizz but not creamy. Overall a pretty good and enjoyable beer. A small amount of mild hop or malt bitterness is ever present an it hangs for a while on the finish. Amazing how a style can be called a bitter and it is not really that bitter.
