Draft at Churchkey. Cloudy golden color, bright white head, solid lacing. Aroma has a nice amount if citrus but doersn’t blow you away. Taste is mild dusty barnyard lemons. Nice dry finish. Good stuff.

Cask at Pizzeria Paradiso Dupont. Poured a dark, slightly hazy brown-orange color with a small off-white head. Aroma was dark roasted, bitter coffee notes, touch of citrus character. Flavor was roasted coffee beans, citrus notes are mellowed a bit. Pretty interesting.

Draft at Paradiso Dupont. Murky variegated amber briwn color, thin beige head, solid lacing. Aroma of dark roast coffee on Christmas morning with a tree nearby. Taste is bitter fruity coffee, just like a freshly roasted bright cup of floral roasted beans. I didn’t think the combo would work, but it does.

7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Draft at Churchkey. Poured a cloudy light brown color, with a slight orange tint to it, small head. Aroma was strong notes of citrus funk, some notes of grains - particularly cereal notes. Light sweetness in there with notes of funky touches. Extremely flavorful for a 2% beer - plenty of sweet grains are prominent in this one, with an all-around tart funk through it. Very drinkable, very refreshing, and nicely soured.
