Pint from a cask at town hall tap
After the beer settles down a bit it is clear with an amber color with a lot of orange hues. A tight cask film reminiscent of the thickness of an Irish stout with similar stickiness to the glass.
Big hop aromas-west coast APA style with citrus (orange and grapefruit) with a bit of evergreen resin. Bready, sweet malt. Taste is hop forward and like the aroma with a bit more of the resiny hop coming out in the finish. Malt is clean and carries the hops nicely while certainly taking a back seat to the hops.
The cask gives this beer a real creamy mouthfeel by cutting down on the carbonation.
Overall a really easy drinking, hoppy while not being overwhelming, pale ale. Recommended on cask.

Growler shared by drabmuh. Dude, you rock!
The beer is light golden hued and pretty clear, sporting a small white head that leaves a bit of lacing on the glass. The aroma is fresh and inviting. Hops all the way. Floral notes and citrus. A delicious beer, and refreshing. On the lighter side, and at a mere 5.4%, one could easily go through a few pints of this. Good stuff!

On draft at the brewpub, a good beer, a great APA. At the time of this review, this is #39 on the "Top Beers - American Pale Ale" list on beeradvocate.com.
Beer is yellow with a slight haze, amber. Nice tight head, decent retention, some lacing, moderate to low carbonation.
Aroma is all hops all the time, hop bomb? Here you go...
Beer is quite bitter, nice mouthfeel, medium body, a little smooth, minimal malt up front, a nice finish, sweet on the end, a great beer. I'd have it again.
