16 oz. pint glass poured from cask; about as fresh as you can get; $3/pint
This is Fort Street Brewery's 9th cask-conditioned ale (a new one offered every other Thursday), tapped on July 14, 2005. According to brewer Doug Beedy, the base of this beer is their Piston Pale Ale that was taken from the fermenter and put in the cask with some Angostura bitters and then allowed to finish fermenting out in the cask.
This beer is cloudy with a dark golden, almost orange, hue and a thick creamy white head that dissipates slowly leaving a nice white film. The aroma consists of a sweet maltiness along with lots of citrus and spice notes. The flavor consists of a sweet malt background with a strange spicy/orange-like flavor (almost like coriander maybe?), ending in a candy-like sweetness. I was amazed how the bitters totally repressed all of the flavor of the Amarillo hops in the parent beer and made this one seem like something totally different. It reminds me of a belgian ale with its spices and sugary sweet flavors.
After two pints of this wonderful concoction, I was sure I'd be back in two more weeks to find out what they came up with next.
