Cask Days 2018, on tap. Hazy yellow, big, rocky white head. Aroma is loaded with tropical fruit, big melon, and mango notes. Mouth feel is spot on, and the carb is creamy, and soft. Finish is lightly bitter, soft pithiness, stone fruit, and juicy citrus round it out.

Cask days 2016, dry hopped with Citra and simcoe hops. This is pretty much what you?d expect. Big citrus, no malts, hints of pine. Pretty straight forward west coast ipa. Nice, but nothing extraordinary.

On tap at Loyal Legion - PDX, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma has gentle dank hops, pine, and biscuity malt to back. Flavour is pretty dank, with piney hops, gentle citrus, light grass, and crisp biscuity malt. Real nice hop expresion, finishing piney, bitter and crisp. Excellent.
