No real head, little bubbles, hazy honey orange color.

Nose is great, nice bright hops, nice citrus, grassy floral effervescent, nice pith like citrus component, hint of tropical papaya like, and hint if grapefruit. Mild malt base.

Taste starts with big hops again, fresh straight soaked raw hop oils, with mild dank resin notes. Then citrus, not super bright, fair bitter grassy floral component, a dank orange peel resin like hop bitterness. Hint of grapefruit pith, nice generic citrus rind, and juicy tropical like orange fruit. Mild creamy malt base, gets slight toasted malt. Finish is flat and sticks to the mouth, slightly dry, but tons of bitterness, a little spicy bitterness but mostly that dank resin and generic citrus fruit pith bitterness lingering.

Mouth is med to fuller bod, very little carb though even for a cask.

Overall this was a nice beer, just wish Ben would let it carbonate and attenuate a bit more in the casks. They seem a but flat and a mild under attenuation on the finish. Otherwise theses have been pretty good so far. I do like this version too. Nice lingering bitterness, nice fresh hop oils and dank resinous citrus pith without the astringent spicy briny hop effect. Quite nice.
