Tap at Capitol Beer. Pours hazy light orange with a creamy off-white head that did a little lacing. Aroma made me think of pineapple. Med body. Flavor seems to be citrus and tropical fruit. Certainly on the bitter side. Finishes fresh and fruity. And bitter. Very tasty and drinkable.

Tap at The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours black with a 3 finger creamy light tan head. Very like a Guinness - it can be drawn in. Aroma of burnt dark malt. Full bodied. Flavor is very chocolate. Perhaps some vegetable/squash aspect, but not a noticeable amount of spice. At least to me. It’s a delicious chocolate stout.

Drank in Denver for GABF 2012. Pours a clear copper color with a medium white head. A big nose of citrus and caramel. Very smooth, well-balanced, citrus, loads of oranges, dry caramel and balance from the malt. Good. Clean.

Cask at The Davis Beer Shoppe. Poured hazy gold with a creamy white head. Aroma was strongly citrus. It has a very lush mouth feel, tho the body is probably medium minus. The backbone is a bit light, but the lush hoppiness is so strong that that is not a problem. There’s more than citrus - seemed a little floral/grassy. It finishes very nicely bitter. Cask is always (IMHO) so much better than draft, but if you see it in draft give it a try anyway. Delicious.
