(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 17 June 2008) Amber colour with lasting, frothy, off-white head. Fruity nose with notes of biscuity malt, orange peel and dusty, floral hops. Fruity taste with smooth hints of orange peel, apricots, biscuity malt and floral hops in the finish. Fairly dry, very nice balance. Wouldn’t suffer from a little more bite, but a nice beer.

Cask at Mogul, Dover Got a good Cotleigh aroma and feel about this beer. Light copper colour with a good balance of hops and malt. Very well made, light citrus acids and some bready yeastiness. Good beer.
