Cask (Standing Order JDW, Southampton) - As Cairngorm Gold. Amber in colour. Biscuity malt, caramel and apricot in the aroma. Nicely balanced taste with biscuity malt, toffee and a hint of lemon.

Flaske 0,5l fra Kjeller 5. Batch L3109. Drukket i Skibotn til julelunsj 25 Des 13. Gyldenbrunt. Nesten ikke skum. Uklar. Litt nøytral blomsteraroma. Smaken er mørk frukt. Gjennomgående fjøspreg - men det skulle jo bare mangle med det navnet. Fungerte bra som matøl. --- Beer merged from original tick of Sheepshaggers Gold (Cask) on 13 Dec 2016 at 02:10 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 4 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5.5.

500ml bottle bought at Kjeller 5 in Tromsø. Golden body, slightly hazy. Decent white bubbly head. Rings of lace down the glassware. Grainy nose, sheer notes of floral hops. Mild taste of grain, peach, and honey sweetness. Short hop bitter ending. Soft in the mouth. Not a great one, quite alright with the Sunday food though (Tromsø 15.12.2013)

Cask at CBI, London on 15th June 2013. Gold with thin white lacing foam. Rich malt, earthy aroma with pungent spiciness. Grass and floral hop meets rich biscuit malt. Citric notes develop and last into tangy finish on a zingy mouthfeel.
