Sampled at the source last night. From notes: amber in color, thin lasting head. Aroma is mild toffee, hint of citrus.
Mild bread base with a mild rye component. The rue doesn’t show me any spice. The flavor is typical of an ESB. Lighter body with a easy level of carbonation. If you enjoy the style, this certainly is easy enough to drink.

Sample at the source. Hazy brown color, aroma is malt and coffee bitterness. Flavor maybe has some biscut grain "pretzel" type hints. The body is on the lean side and overall more bitter then I was guessing. Maybe over extracted coffee bean.

4 oz. taster at the brewery. Clear red / amber in color with small foamy head. Aroma is mild citrus and light shades of pine. The flavor shows citrus and light grassy notes upfront with the lager yeast showing mid-sip. The finish shows grapefruit, mild lager funk, light lingering bitterness.
Dry texture with a lighter body. I like this more than the standard Hopstruck. Nicely constructed lager for sure.

Keg at Lui Lui’s - West Lebanon, NH. Pours clear, bright gold with a creamy, white head. The nose has pithy citrus, lemon peel, dried pale malts. Light sweet flavour with dominant flinty minerality, more pithy citrus, rindy bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with more mineral flint, faint ash, lemon peel. So so overall.

Tap at Thirsty Moose Manchester Mostly clear burnt golden color without much of a head by the time it arrived at my table. Light lemony tart cherry aroma with faint bready malt. Sweet bread up front light lemony cherry flavor light lingering tartness in the finish. Not bad but not really all that tart.

Cask at GBBF 2016, Day 1 - London. Pours clear gold with a frothy, white crown. Tart and citrusy, with suggestions of lemon and tangerine. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Good and quenching in the finish, with bright and tangy orange juice. Great stuff.

Draft at the source. Mostly clear in color orange. Thick lasting white head in an 8 ounce glass. Aroma shows herbal and pine hops with a note of citrus.
The flavor has a moderate herbal base with a light pale grain backbone. The bitterness is herbal and lightly lingers after the sip. More herbal presence than any other hop character. Light body with a light crisp finish. Good amount of flavor for such a lower gravity brew. Rather enjoyable.

Cask at GBBF 2016. It pours hazy old with prett much no head. The aroma is soft, sweet, grainy, vanilla, roasted pineapple, nectarine, candy and tinned fruit. The taste is crisp, tart, good mouth-pucker, sour pineapple, lemon sherbet, nectarine and a touch of acidity with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Prett bright and fruity (although not cherry!). A touch more condition would have been good. Nice.
