GBBF. Cask. Very hazy gold beer, tiny white head. Minerals. Decent fresh hops, fresh enough to sting a bit! Grapefruit, tangerine pith. Nice!

Hazy tan. The aroma bursts with hops - fruity and piney. Rich hops on the palate, slight resin, lots of Columbus goodness. Not much malt, but I’m not looking for much. Good, drinkable IPA. And it happens to be made with hops I like (I think mine had Amarillo in place of Cascade).

Probably the best beer I had here - a fairly clean ipa, with just enough malt sweetness to temper the earthy hop profile - quite herbal throughout - medium-bodied, with a clean finish.
