A clear amber colour with a small thick near white head. Aroma is malty, a little caramel, and light green herbiness. Taste is some malt, and sweetness, combined with a grassy hop bitterness that lingers in the finish.

Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen. An amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and perfume. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, dusty hops, and malt, leading to a bitter finish. The body is light.

Cask handpull at Thomas Ingoldsby Spoons Canterbury. Pale brown bitter colour. Soft in mouth. Not very bitter. Some tomato sauce from somewhere. Not great. No real hop. A little metallic on the finish due to the green hops but otherwise not very interesting. 2.7/5. Re-rate 2014 version Cask gravity at the Berry Walmer. Clear gold lasting white head. OK golden ale. Bit of green hop oilyness. Fine
