Bottle from the brewery most likely. Transported to Sweden. A mixed aroma but mostly sweet vibes. Lovely caramel colour. Creamy finish with good bitterness. A real taste of home. Probably a generous rating because of that.

Cask at The Hurst Arms, Eastbourne. Interesting to see this. It had notes of wheat beer to it and it was rather sweet and rich tasting. Improved as you went through it after cloying start. Nice bright Amber gold.

Bottle from Harveys Brewery Shop. Pours a clear copper colour with a tiny off-white head. Very light gentle carbonation the beer looks almost flat. Very slight aromas are floral, caramel and apples. Weak on the nose. Taste is much more fuller with notes of caramel, toffee, citrus, apple, biscuits, grains, cereal. Earthy hop bitterness on the finish leaves a lingering aftertaste. Taste is fresh, floral with a little bit of zest and spice. Dry finish. Pretty good.

Cask @ The Railway, Hebden Bridge. Golden-amber with a head. Unfotunately had turned to vinegar on my sampling, it had obviously been on the pump too long so the review says more about the pub than the actual ale - I'll endeavour to try this again sometime.

Cask at The Royal Oak (1 whole pint dare I say). It pours clear deep gold - copper with a decent white head. The aroma is is toasty grain, bitter-sweet, brown bready, earthy, wood, leather, bit of spice and some soft fruit. The taste is dry, bitter, brown bread, earthy, toasty grass, woody, leather, cereal, spice, soft sweetness and a touch of fruit with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. As expected this is much more characterful than the crappy bottled version. Well rounded and has some nice subtle complexity. Nice.
