Cask handpull at Green Berry, Deal. Gold/orange with thin beige head. Beautifully hoppy beer. Very Dark Star-ry. Stunning spicy hop. Bit of Dark Star yeast on aroma. Piney hops, great resins. Superb. Love the hops. Bit of ginger maybe.

Slightly hazy yellow, small white head. Ginger and honey in the nose. Similar flavor: ginger in the sweetish honeyish base. Not so spicey than their other spicey summer real ale. Some hops in the finish otherwise not much going on in the aftertaste.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm) Colour is golden with hints of orange, frothy head. Nose is floral with spicy notes of honey, elderflowers and cardamom. Taste is fruity and floral with the same spices (honey, elderberries or -flowers, cardamom). A bit on the thin side, but very summery and refreshing.

[Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm] Deep golden. Eviden spicy cardamom aroma. Medium sweet with soft, rounded mouthfeel. A touch of old english marmelade adds an interesting twist to the spicy flavour. Finishes with low bitterness.
