Location: Draft at the Brewpub, 6/10/11
Aroma: The nose is hoppy with pine, floral, citrus, and earth notes to it
Appearance: It pours a cloudy golden color with a decently lacy white head
Flavor: Tastes fairly dry and hoppy, with the pine and earth flavors being the most prevelant
Palate: The body is medium, with average carbonation, and a slightly rough finish that is also quite dry
Overall Impression: It thought that this one was a solid dry APA that is leaning in the direction of an IPA. It works pretty well for what it is trying to be, nothing too complex or crazy just a fairly hoppy/dry APA.

Cask at GBBF 2011. A dark brown/red coloured pour with a medium off white head on top. Sweet, malty aroma. Tastes very sweet to me, malty, caramel, dark fruit, bready. Not bad but overly sweet for me.

On tap, in a . Poured a off-white color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was yeast notes, wheat, a touch of fruit, but not exactly distinctive. Flavor was wheat, with tart strawberry sweetness. Didn’t think I would really enjoy this one and was pleasantly surprised to be wrong.
