Rich L. is drinking an After Hours by Changing Times at Doheny & Nesbitt
Floral nose; tangerine, peach, melon; smooth. Mosaic fruit with an old school Centennial orange thread. Bright + easy; streets ahead of the old recipe. CT coming on strong these days.

Rich L. is drinking a Renegade by Hope Beer at The Bald Eagle
Lemon zest nose; grapefruit, gooseberry, melon; clean. Hallertau Blanc still leads, but brighter and fruitier than in cans. Clean as a whistle + no hint of ABV. Just a whole lot of fun.

Rich L. is drinking a Renegade by Hope Beer at Untappd at Home
Melon nose; Seville orange, gooseberry, passionfruit, red berry, spice; clean. Hal Bl wine grape leads; Solero tart fruit is subtle. Apricot as it opens. Old school IBUs + bone dry finish hide the ABV. Gameday quencher that goes down far too easy.
Can
Rich L. is drinking a Gone Fishing by Green Jack Brewing Company at The Silver Penny (Wetherspoon)
Walnut Whip nose; caramel cake, red pear, orange rind, spice: smooth. Deep malts - toasted marshmallow sweetness w/long bitter finish, as befits the ABV. Not seen "ESB" from a UK brewery that's not Fullers; thought it was trademarked. Nice sipper.
Cask
Tangerine nose; citrus, peach, cantaloupe; smooth. Hazy shapes but missing the body + hop depth. Also, whiff of diacetyl (but hey, it's Cassidy's.) Adequate.
