Tried this at the brewery, first beer I have ever tried served out of a cask. Different in that it seemed a little smoother, and defenitely a little warmer (which is a good thing) than their beer served on tap.
The taste and nose of this brew are mostly all hops. During the first part of the sip, the beer begins with a nice mix of fruity hops. As it should be for the stlye, there is a large amount of hop bitterness at the end that sticks with you even a few minutes after the sip is completed. Hardly any malt sweetness there, but there is just a tad bit to balance everything out.
This is a highly drinkable pale ale and by far the best brew I tried that Blue Star brewed (they were currently out of two beers). A typical, but very good pale ale. If it's available in the cask when you visit, be sure to get it served that way, as it's a great way to experience a beer.

On tap at the brewpub in San Antonio.
Appearance: Pours golden with excellent clarity. The semi-durable head leaves little lacing.
Feel: Near medium body and medium carbonation.
Flavor: Appropriately hoppy. Some malt flavor with a dominate input from hops. Medium bold for style. .
O: good but not great.
