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).

Slightly hazy dark brown. Smells chocolatey, oaty and a little bit nutty Tastes more like bland nuttiness and light chocolate. Not much residual sugar and not much roast. A bit thin - overattenuated. Leaves the beer lacking in roundness and balance.
