Cask at The Wharf, Aalborg, Denmark
Golden color with small head. The aroma is mild, with some malt and some grassy hops; light manure and apples. Very flat texture, almost oily; good malt/toffee flavor, lightly crispy and biscuity; the bitterness is too strong, and it gives a metallic feeling; mild grassy finish.
Initially appreciated, it turns out difficult to drink (a pint).

Bottle from Sainsburys. Copper coloured with next to no head. Sweet, toffee and barley sugar notes, with some jammy red fruits and moderately bitter finish. Ok.

Deeper golden coloured ale, little to no head. Soapy mild sweet aroma, slightly fizzy in the palate. Low on taste but the relative strength doesn’t compromise this.

Penderels Oak, Holborn 1 Nov 12. JDW Festivaløl. Dyp brun. Lavt, litt farget skum. OK fruktaroma. Smaken er søt, tung frukt. Litt kjedelig.
