On cask at Brewer's Alley in Frederick, MD.

This one pours a fairly hazy golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like rye and hop spice, honey, grain, clove, and spice.

This is a really interesting beer to have on cask, but it honestly works very well. There's wonderful citrusy sweetness, with a clean hit of spice from the rye. There's not a ton of honey, but it's definitely there and provides another nice source of sweetness. The saison yeast provides a hint of pear and clove that also works very well with this one.

The cask pour provides a lower level of carbonation, but it does kind of work here - it feels softer and creamer because of that.

This one of the better beers on cask that I've ever had. It worked really well.
