Pull Chain Pail Ale
Clear, but dirty copper with a milky beige foam. Nose full of toffee and jousting transatlantic hops. Begins with a steady malt base. All caramelly and toasted, migrating towards buttered toffee as it rests. The hops are a bit betraying and contradictory. It has that full floral bitterness of an English Pale Ale, but it is rudely interupted by the Grapefruit babblings of Cascades. Heavily bittered at the end, and balance seems to fail. The cask mouthfeel has its benefits, and its general lightness will always allow for drinkability. If this chose a side- US or UK- it would gain the cohesion it desperately needs. It is a bit lost as it is.
