Palisades IPA
Goose Island Beer Co.

Sampled on Cask at the Goose Island Clyborne location
Much smoother than the tap version (lower carbonation). This one is also quite clear (perhaps a hint of haze) and a pretty copper color and a pale cream colored head. There is still the funky ganja notes from the hops, but the hops have mellowed considerably and meld in a much more balanced way with the malt. I get some creamy notes of vanilla that I did not notice in the tap version. There is still a solid bitterness in the finish, and I get notes of citrus (more specifically grapefruit), and pine in the flavor. There is a lasting, lingering hop character here, the bitterness sticks around from sip to sip. This is most definitely what I expect from a cask beer, still the base beer, yet noticeably different from the tap version. Hard to say though which one I like better.
