Had on cask. Clear dirty, blonde body with a large white head, plenty of webs of lacing. Pale hops dot the English yeast and bright malts in all aspects. Nose gets lemon and playfully grass tones, taste slight dough, mineral water and botanical hops. Feel is still a touch thin, but fills out enough relying on the malts more than the pale hops. Much better than normal DBA!

At fw propagator. White head. Clear bronze color.
Malty. Bready, biscuity, caramel. It’s honestly a bit lighter than I expected it’d be. Grassy, floral hops. But overall, not much going on. It’s good, I just expected more.

Draft. Dark amber with off white head. Rich malt with some dark toffee and a little chocolatey roast, maybe pale chocolate. Flavor is a little flatter then the aroma led me to expect. Hint of acetaldehyde.

At ABV the other night.
Clear copper with a thin, white head with decent retention and lacing, this looks solid. The nose is toasty malt and grassy, mild butterscotch, toasted wheat along with mild grassy hops. There's a mild herbal and a chalk-like character as well. Triscuits come to mind as well. The palate is creamy with a dry, toasty, mild butterscotch-like finish with some honey and biscuit. Solid.
