On tap at Arrow and the Loon, with nitro. Big creamy light-beige head with great retention and some sticky lacing. Looks slightly hazy and copper coloured. Beautiful soft hop aromas of citrus zest and some grass. The taste is much milder, being a lighter alcohol content, but still has some nice small hop bitterness in the finish. A great session, smooth creamy nitro brew with more hops than most with this gas.

On tap at Arrow and Loon. Thought with nitro, it would be thicker and bigger like Guinness or Cobblestone stout, but not so. Has a dark amber appearance. Lacing is a bit weak. Aromas of light citrus and hints of tea. Flavours are a fairly subdued amount of citrus hops, nice balance of sweetness and bitterness.

on tap @bent Elbow - Pours a dark copper color with some orange highlights. Decent off white cap lasts. Moderate carbonation. Aroma is biscuity, lighty fruity with caramel and grass notes. Mild biscuit malty flavor balanced well with some robust Kent golding hop presense, fruity notes, long wet finish with a decent hop bite. A decent enough session pale ale in the British style.
