I tried this beer at the brewery. The Blurry Bike at Barley's is good. It poured a hazy golden with no head and no lace. The scent is floral with tangerine. The taste is nicely balanced with tangerine peel and a bitter finish. The Mouthfeel is medium in body with good carbonation. Overall it's worth a try.

Cask into a pint glass at Bodega on 4/26/12
Lightly cloudy honey amber color. One finger cap of bubbly foam drops slowly. It looks pretty so far. Retention is very good - about 50% throughout. A thick wall of small bubbles cling to the glass.
The aroma has a smooth, sweet cracker malt note with hops aplenty up top. Tropical with a touch of piney green. Pineapple, mango, peach and nectarine. The aroma favors the tropics over the forest as it warms.
The taste is a let down compared to the aroma (and compared to how this tastes on tap). Tropicalia is diminished criminally in favor of earth, dirty tea leaves and a long lingering medicinal bitterness.
The feel is a lighter one. Carbonation is low and smooth. However, there is an earthy grittiness that makes for a terse feel.
Overall impression - Not totally bad, but I'm not convinced the cask benefits hoppy American beers. Shrug. Get this on tap instead.
