Guest ale on cask at West End Brewery in Leicester. Shared with Finn. Patchy beige head, golden-brown body, close to clear. Promising smell of leafy hops. Mixed taste of earthy malts and resinous bitterness towards the ending. Rounded mouth feel. Pleasing. (11.02.2019).

0,5 flaske fra Meny Borups alle, København, på hytta okt-17: klar kobbergylden med flott skum som varer til siste slurk er unnagjort. Lime, sukat, engelsk appelsinmarmelade, gule epler og frisk mango i den deilige aromaen og smaken. Litt overkarbonert. Solid bitterhet i en fin maltkropp med bidrag fra hvetemalt. En godt balansert og høyst nytbar apa hvor de amerikanske og newzealandske Cascade, Challenger, Chinook og Waimea spiller på samme lag.
