Old notes from Nov 2014 - This is a bottle I picked up from the brewery, specially brewed to welcome the spring equinox it pours a golden ale with a foamy white head. You can really taste the citrus fruits with a hint of lemongrass coming through, making for quite a refreshing pint. One I'd be more than happy to have again.

(Cask at Craft Beer Co Islington, London, 25 Apr 2015) Hazy amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, spicy nose with notes of grass, dried fruit, citrus and herbs. Malty, herbal taste with dried fruit, citrus, herbs (rosemary, thyme, basil) and a balanced grassy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Interesting and spicy/herbal. Quite nice.

Cask@Black Door, Helsinki
Honeyish golden color, small steady off-white head. Honeyish, a bit leafy hoppy aroma. Light bodied. Dry woody hoppy flavor with light grassy notes. Dry, sticky bitterness in the aftertaste. Quite standard uninspiring real ale.

(Cask at Kitty’s, Helsinki, 20110422) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma was fruity and mildly yesty. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, straw, mildly sweetness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was bitter and also harsh. A decent beer until the harsh finish killed the flavour.

On gravity at the Bristol Beer Festival 14/3/08. Deep golden colour with next to no head. Spicy hop aroma with some sweet malt. Flavour also inclined towards sweetness with some peppery hops and a decent bitter finish. Ok.
