GBBF Day 3. Cask. Hazy yellow - gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light dry palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth thin dry malts, modest sweetness. Mellow dry orange citrus. Mild grapefruit and citric pith. Dry finish. Quite dry and more than a bit recesses hop wise.

16 oz Nitro pour at The Ale House, Amesbury. Deep, deep brown color. Aroma is mild roast, easy chocolate, and a nice level of coconut. The mouthfeel is enhanced by the nitro. Coconut plays real nice with the roast and Chocolate tones. Easy to drink.

Draught at Picco, 0/19/17.
Moderately hazy, lime-tinted, bronze-golden with a small, moderately-well-retained white head atop.
Lemon-lime and mango in the nose mixes with strong pine from the mosaic. Deep, earthy, green dank character sits in the background, almost minty-like. Malts are very sparse and show just a touch of biscuit. Alcohol well-concealed. While the Idaho 7 adds a bit of an extra layer of complexity. the Citra-Mosaic is just so boringly full of pine and grapefruit and it comes off like most of CIB's other hoppy offerings, yet again.
In the mouth it's fairly soft, with pine, grapefruit, peach and mango providing mostly bright flavors, though it gains a good amount of both bitterness and light resin, along with plentiful spice and lush greenery. Low alcohol with a soft, fairly sweet base malt character behind it and moderately peppery carbonation.

Pours a rich Black from a tap with dark brown head. Nice toasty, almost burnt aroma, deep nuttiness. Similar flavor, initial sweetness retreats before an onslaught of strong bitterness, to turn a beer review kind of phrase. Thick mouthfeel, chewy. Pretty good beer.
