Draft at O Casey’s, The Hague. Pours clear amber with a white head. Light caramel and malt aroma. Flavour has a little fruit as well, medium sweet, light bitter. Medium carbonation and thin bodied. Uninteresting but drinkable.

On tap, pint. Clear amber color with thick creamy brownish head and soft carbonation. Aroma of caramel and light roasted malt, spicy hops and a bit of earthiness. Smooth and rich malty taste, followed by sweet caramel. Mouthfeel is a bit plain, however it’s finished with light bitterness. Medium body, creamy texture and soft carbonation in palate. On tap is surely better than canned...

Poured copperish amber in color with a large white frothy head. Aroma of caramel and light hops. Taste was sweet with caramel malts, citrus and floral hops. A little sweet with a bit of a dry finish.

330ml bottle. Clear reddish amber colour with small frithy lacing white head. Malty aroma, slightly roasty with a decent hoppy note. Taste has slightly roasted malt, a metallic note supported by a prickling carbonation, dry finish.

I’ve tried both tap and bottle. I didn’t liked tapped beer. It had awesome look, cloudy brown white color, but it felt like foam. It didn’t have any taste. On other hand, bottle version was very dark and it wasn’t that bad, but in my opinion I can’t see why many people praise this beer.

Smooth and crisp from the tap, although has no real taste to it. Easy in the palate.

from tap. Cream ale. Smooth, malts and grain. Foam doesn’t stay a long time.

Draught at TGIF Kungsträdgården. Amber towards red, dense thick foam. Some metallic in the beginning, after a time replaced by malt sweetness. Long time ago since I had it last, would not have selected it if the pub had been better stocked.
