Pours a hazy orange-ish color with an off white head. In the aroma, orange citrus hops. In the taste, orange citrus and a refreshing hop profile. A smooth and medium bodied mouthfeel, with a small dry hop and orange citrus aftertaste. Nice hops, quite refreshing, and very nice and drinkable.

First had: cask at the brewery

An improvement over the regular version, as the dry-hopping (which I assume is what they did here) brings out some of the flavor and balance that was lacking. Hazy copper pour, with a huge, foamy, cascading white head that soon cropped to a smaller layer and laced well. Aroma of citrusy hops, and a more subdued bready malt base. Taste of citrusy hops, touches of pine, overlaid on a grainy malt base. Still not quite a competitor for king of the style, but the cask and dry-hopping brings out the best in it. Light-medium body, and decently drinkable overall.
