Clear amber with a frothy / bubbly white head and a soft caramel malt aroma. Smooth and clean, with a touch of creaminess, it’s a little bit fruity and a little bit malty with some floral hop bitterness and a dry finish

Fra cask på Mossy Well: lett uklar kobbergylden med fint skum som varer. Mykt og vennlig anslag med forsiktig citrus, karamell, gress og noe lett floralt. Fin bitterhet og god maltsmak. En deilig cask ale, og en god start på oppholdet.

Cask at Spoons, Eastbourne. Sweet, nutty aroma - like the Georgian walnut grape strings. Mahogany colour. Walnut on the taste but also wet lager malts. Close your eyes and you could be fooled into thinking it's a southern European macro lager. Not great.

Cask at Friar Penketh, Warrington. Pours a hazy golden amber with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. Aroma has a melange of malts, nuts and autumn fruits. In the mouth it is sweet with a slightly watery texture. Malts lead the flavour over a caramel base. Later on there are some floral hops and summer fruits, leading to a slightly bitter finish. This is OK, but nothing special [ “premium strength @ 4.5% - who are they kidding ?! ]
