On draught at Harry’s Hofbrau in Redwood City. Didn’t quite like this as much as the original, but still contains solid aroma and citrus fruit with moderate dank.

Tap (nitro) at The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours golden copper with a large creamy beige head. Smells like a bitter - maybe a bit hoppier than the Cousin’s versions. Med body. Comes across like a cask ale thanks to the nitro. Seems close to the Cousin’s versions. Doubt I’d know it wasn’t English if blind tasting. A light caramel, some fruit and a moderate level of bitter. Reminding of O’er the Pond times. Except a bit colder. :)

12 oz tulip draft at Beer Revolution on Oakland, California. The pour is a slight haze copper golden with a smallish white head. The aroma is pretty neutral, some grain malt, and a bit of herbal hop though they are both muted. The taste is the cracker grain malt, along with a bit of the herbal before a watery finish. The palate is light bodied with low carbonation and the watery finish. Just OK.

On tap at The Cooler. It pours a light hazy pale yellow color with a white head. The aroma has big stone fruit and citrus. Very light nutty base malt. The flavor is more lemony with grapefruit citrus and light bready/nutty base malt. Soft mouth feel and low bitterness. Citric smoothness. Really nice stuff.

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours translucent dark gold with a white head. Very citrus aroma. Med + body. Flavor is very pale stone fruit, but there’s definitely citrus. Could be some odd tropical fruits. Seems to have taken a baby step towards dank. Not entirely dry, and finishing earthy bitter. Excellent.
