On cask at Volo, Great Lakes/Mike Lackey feature. Into a tulip.

Poured a pale golden orange, unfiltered with a finger of fluffy and soapy head. Nose is grassy, some prominent tropical notes and an odd (but oddly not offensive) hint of stinky feet. Taste was like chewing on a hop cone, more tropical fruits, mango, passionfruit and some pine. Low carbonation, solid feel from the cask. Not a ton of bitterness, and what's there doens't linger. Good drinkability, I enjoyed this.

A decent pale, its in the style, on-tap at Bar Volo. Orangey taste, lighter orange colour. Some very mil fruitiness. The hops are there although it does "pale" in bitterness compared to the IPA, just like an understated version of their other IPAs, and since nothing unique will still to the IPAs.
