The beer pours a nice amber color with a thick frothy white head that slowly fades to lacing. The aroma is good. It has a well balanced pale and Carapils malt scent along with a really nice hop nose and Ringwood yeast aroma. The taste is good as well. It's you typical IPA, boasting pale and light crystal malts. It's a little fruitier because of the Ringwood yeast. The hop character is good, but not overly done. The mouthfeel is fine. It is a medium bodied beer with adequate carbonation. This is an easy drinking IPA. It's got excellent balance and isn't too aggressive.

Serving type: on-tap

Had this on tap in the 'Cuse. The name "Armoury" comes the fact that Clark's is in Armory Square.

Appearance was a light gold, not alot of head.

Smell was average, a bit of hops and malt.

Taste was great. I'm not a huge IPA fan but this was very well done, not overly bitter and not to much hop or alcohol. Definately a bit different than other IPA's, this was refreshing.

Mouthfeel was good, by far less carbonated than I thought, but the balance was perfect.

Drinkability here is average. If your at Clark's and have a good sandwich, go for it.

Had a pint at Clark's Ale House. I asked and apparently this is the IPA on cask. I can see some similarity, but by the nature of cask, its still a different beer. This had a herbal, almost minty or basil-like hops to it with a light malt backbone. Very drinkable and the alcohol was well-hidden. Not amazing, but a nice drink.

Brewed specifically for Clark's Ale House in Syracuse, and had on cask there at the real ale festival. Good hop scent. Light gold colour with a bit of bubbles on top. Batch went very quickly. Mild and light mouthfeel. A bit better than average as far as the cask ales I have tried.
