Delicate floral hop aroma. A subtle, well balanced finish with good character. A pale golden beer, clear tasting, in a continental style.

Flaske delt med importør Ovesen: flott skum med varighet, gylden. Myk karbonering som gir en kremet munnfølelse. Fin, lett citrus (sitron og appelsin) i aroma og smak. Behagelig og ganske mild bitterhet i ettersmaken.

Cask (Centurion, Newcastle) - Golden in colour. Biscuity malt, lemon and a hint of tea in the aroma. Lemon, grapefruit and a faint hint of peach can be detected in the taste.

Dull and hazy, slightly yeasty aroma, slightly floral, honeyed notes and a somewhat dull pale malt character.

500ml bottle at home. Clear golden pour with very little head. Aromas, such as they are, are buttery, lightly floral, some generic fruitiness. Light sweetness, could do with more bitterness. OK.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a clear medium amber with a broken white head. The aroma is malty with a little yeast. The flavour is medium bitter, little creamy and with a zesty hoppy palate. A nice refreshing ale. Perfect for the summer.
