Cricket Hill Colonel Blides Cask Ale

The Cricket Hill Brewing Company is in Fairfield, New Jersey.  This beer is 5.5% ABV.  It pours amber and copper in color.  There is a tall half-inch of creamy, thick head, off-white in color.  The aroma is grassy, orange, tangerine, with some caramel malt.  The taste is light orange and tangerine on a bed of caramel malt, with a bright, grassy and bitter finish.  The mouthfeel is very smooth and creamy.  This is like a strange hybrid of an English bitter and a light American IPA, but it is mostly enjoyable.  The aftertaste is a bit off-balanced.
