(Cask at Harp, Charing Cross, London, 27 May 2022) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of citrus, grapefruit, biscuits and fresh floral hops. Malty, hoppy taste with biscuits, citrus, tropical fruit, grapefruit and a balanced bitterness with floral/leafy hops. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Fresh and tasty. Quite nice.

Endelig gjennom sikkerhetskontrollen på Heathrow og fortsatt god tid før boarding, fra cask på Fuller's: lett uklar gylden med fint skum som varer helt ned. Lyse, søte citrusfrukter, litt furunål og ganske god maltsmak. Citrus, honning og mersmak i avslutningen.
