A superb golden session beer, with enormous depth of flavour and a long floral, spicy finish from U.S. Cascade hops.

Delt med Rune. Gyldegul. Så vidt litt filmskum. Beskjeden fruktaroma. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken pærer & melon. Lett tørr fruktig bitter avslutning.

Cask at CBC, Clerkenwell on 6th December 2018. Golden amber with whitish foam affording full lacing. Crisp, fine citrus aroma. Citrus and tropical fruits in-mouth and quite a bitter finish. Zingy mouthfeel and a light body make for easy drinking.

Many thanks to Grumbo for this bottle! Smooth fresh floral beginning. Easy to drink, round and floral bitter. Nice Ale characteristic, round and malty bitter in the end. Very crisp and dry, fresh floral with a typical golden ale taste. Nice smooth bitter in the aftertaste. Nice.
