Deep amber/copper pour with a one finger off-white head. Strong hop aroma and flavor upfront with a nice bitterness that carries through to the finish.

On cask at Beachwood BBQ, thought this would be a fun one to try on cask due to the addition of English hops,

A: Pours a translucent amber with a full off-white head, abundant lacing.

S: Fairly innocuous malt, good flowery hop character, English garden, herbs, inviting.

T: Crystal malt predominantely with a grassy lightly piney hop character. I can taste the Fuggles for sure. Nice flavour but nothing more for me.

M: Medium-bodied, very light carbonation, creamy, not a lot of nuance here.

D: I like the regular Calico all right and this makes for a nice pint too. Solid offering with a little more English flair.
