(Cask at Craft Beer Co Covent Garden, London, 21 Nov 2018) Golden colour with foamy, white head. Malty, hoppy nose with citrus, herbs (nettles?), toast, grapefruit and resin. Malty, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, herbs, grapefruit, resin and a generous herbal, citric bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Quite bitter, but a bit unbalanced. Quite nice.

Smaksprøve fra fat på Craft Beer Co Covent Garden nov-18: klar strågul med ok skum. Intens og noe ubalansert aroma og smak med grapefrukt, furuskog og overmoden citrus. Kraftig bitterhed i afslutningen.

Cask at CP&K. It pours hazy golden with a thick white head. The nose is soft, sweet, juicy, pineapple chunks, mango and fruit salad. The taste is crisp, clean, bitter, grassy upfront, doughy, pine needles, juicy tropical fruits, pineapple, tangerine and brioche with a lingering dry-bitter finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Juicy and rather fruity. Very tasty

Craft Tottenham Court Road. Cask. Lightly hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth but there is not that much carbonation. Lactose sweet pale malts. Light floral bitterness. Touch of lime led tropical fruits. Smooth finish. A decent beer trying to escape shabby condition.
